One of the best thing about the holidays are the amazing leftovers and these Turkey and Cheese Sliders are one of our favorites! Leftover turkey, gooey, rich cheese makes the most amazing quick dinner, appetizer or lunch!
Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
Using a serrated knife, cut the entire slab of rolls in half, carefully trying to keep the cut even and in the middle. Remove the top half of rolls and set aside. Gently tear the rolls into 4 columns of 3 rolls.
Place turkey slices evenly over the bottom of the rolls, then repeat with cheese (I always leave a few without cheese as our youngest doesn't like melty cheese!) Replace the tops on the rolls, set aside to make the sauce.
Secret Sauce
In a small saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat, once melted whisk in Worcestershire sauce, mustard and brown sugar. Whisk well to combine, bring to simmer. Simmer for 30 seconds until the mixture thickens slightly.
Pour special sauce evenly over the tops of the rolls, turkey sliders. Using a pastry brush, brush the sauce over all the surfaces, tops, cracks and sides.
Spray piece of foil with non-stick spray or spray oil and cover turkey and cheese sliders tightly, refrigerate for 4 hours or more. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and pull out turkey and cheese sliders to come to room temp while preheating.
Bake sliders with foil on for 6 minutes, then remove foil and bake for additional 9 minutes until cheese is melted and rolls are slightly crusty on top. Serve hot or at room temperature. If needed, recover with foil and cook a few more minutes for thicker cheese to melt.

Notes
Do they need to "marinate"They are so much better when they do, but I have had many, many readers make and bake them right away and they are still amazing!Freezer Instructions Freeze well covered. When ready to bake, bake in preheated 300F degree oven keeping covered for first 15 minutes, then baking an additional 15-20 minutes longer.Substitution Ideas
Replace the turkey | ham, deli sliced of anything that is your favorite! Try different types of ham, turkey or even roast beef.
Monte Cristo Style | A modified, non-fried version. Slather a little of your favorite jam, cranberry relish or sauce, on top of the turkey before the cheese and proceed!
Cheese | as mentioned above, change up the cheese to what you have; some delicious cheeses are; Provolone, smoked Gouda, a slab of mozzarella, Havarti, Swiss cheese, mild Cheddar, slice of brie, even a round of goat cheese would be fabulous!
