Ingredients
- ½ stick (55g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey (or swap for brown sugar if you like a deeper sweetness)
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Scorching Afternoon (Spicy Mustard Seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ pound deli-sliced roasted turkey
- ¾ pound Colby Jack cheese, sliced
Instructions
-
Preheat & prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9 or 7×11-inch baking dish (a 9×13 works too if that’s what you’ve got).
-
Make the butter glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey (or brown sugar), poppy seeds, garlic powder, Scorching Afternoon seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well blended.
-
Slice & layer: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bottom half in your prepared baking dish.
-
Spread the love: Spread mayonnaise evenly over the bottom rolls.
-
Layer up: Pile on half the turkey, all of the Colby Jack cheese, then the rest of the turkey. Crown it with the top half of the rolls.
-
Glaze & bake: Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops (or pour it evenly over). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
-
Golden finish: Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is deliciously melty.
-
Serve hot: Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately—good luck keeping hands off them before they hit the plate!
These Scorching Afternoon Spicy Mustard Turkey Sliders aren’t just sliders—they’re edible fireworks. With the sweet softness of Hawaiian rolls, savory turkey, gooey cheese, and that fiery mustard kick, they’re guaranteed to steal the spotlight at any gathering.
Pro Tip
- Sweet swap: Honey brings a floral sweetness, but brown sugar gives a caramelized depth—try both and see which team you’re on.
- Cheese play: Not a Colby Jack fan? Swap in pepper jack for even more kick, or provolone for melty smoothness.
- Make ahead: Assemble earlier in the day, refrigerate, and just bake before serving. Perfect for parties.
- Crowd tip: Double the recipe if you’re feeding a ravenous crew. These sliders vanish fast.
