Equipment

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 1 pkg. 12 King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 2 cups leftover turkey or deli turkey
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese slices or freshly grated

Onions

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 Chipotle in Adobe sauce see notes for substitution
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic

Butter Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°.
  • Slice the Hawaiian buns in half while keeping all of the buns attached to one another. Remove the top of the buns and set aside.
  • Place the bottom half of the buns in a sprayed 9x13 pan. Top with the turkey and cheese. 
  • Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the sliced onions in olive oil and season with salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized. 
  • Finely dice the chipotle in adobo and stir it into the onions along with the ground cumin and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes and remove from heat. Layer the onions over the cheddar cheese and place the tops of the buns over the onions. 
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Brush the melted butter mixture over the top of the buns. Cover the pan with tinfoil and bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the tinfoil from the top of the pan and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute 2 tsp. smoked paprika and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, depending on spice preference, for chipotles in adobo.
