Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Baked Turkey & Cheese Sliders featuring tender deli turkey and melted provolone cheese piled on soft sandwich buns, topped with a flavorful buttery glaze infused with brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, dried mustard, and poppy seeds. Perfect for game day, parties, or a quick family meal, these sliders can be prepared ahead for convenience and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 small sandwich buns
  • 1 pound deli turkey
  • 12 thin slices provolone cheese

Butter Glaze

  • 1 stick butter (½ cup)
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. dried mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sandwiches: Slice the sandwich buns horizontally and evenly divide the deli turkey and provolone cheese slices among them, assembling each sandwich with turkey topped by cheese within the buns.
  2. Arrange on baking sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place all assembled sandwiches on it in a single layer.
  3. Make the butter glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, dried mustard, and poppy seeds. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to fully melt and blend the ingredients, then remove from heat.
  4. Apply glaze and refrigerate: Pour the warm glaze evenly over the sandwiches, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil and refrigerate the sandwiches overnight for best flavor absorption. (This step can be skipped if short on time, but flavor will be less developed.)
  5. Bake the sliders: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover the foil-covered sandwiches and bake for 20 minutes until cheese is melted, buns are toasted, and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.

Notes

  • These Baked Turkey & Cheese Sliders are a family favorite and can be made ahead of time for convenient game day, dinner, or party servings.
  • If you skip the refrigeration step, bake immediately after glazing but flavor may be less intense.
  • Use different cheeses like Swiss or cheddar for variation if desired.
  • Make sure to cover tightly with foil during refrigeration to keep sliders moist.
