Ingredients

  • 1 12 count pkg Hawaiian rolls
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups grated white cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound oven-roasted turkey breast sliced
  • 2-3 medium tomatoes
  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon cooked
  • Poppy seeds for topping sliders

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the flour, about 1⁄2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, ground mustard, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring with a spatula, until a paste forms and begins to brown.
  • Drizzle milk in, one tablespoon at a time, whisking mixture constantly. When all the milk has been added, the white sauce should be smooth.
  • Bring sauce to a low boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Add grated cheese to the sauce and whisk until completely melted and smooth. Set sauce aside.
  • Slice the full sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half and set the top section aside. Place bottoms of rolls into prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the roll bottoms with 2-3 layers of sliced turkey breast.
  • Top the turkey breast layer with tomato slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Liberally spoon the cheese sauce over the tomato layer.
  • Top cheese sauce with a thick layer of bacon and then the remaining turkey breast.
  • Place the tops of the rolls over the prepared sliders. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and use a pastry brush to brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  • Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and cook for about 5 minutes longer or until the tops of the rolls are toasted and golden brown.
  • Lift cooked sliders from the baking dish by the parchment/aluminum lining. Slice apart.
