Instructions
Lettuce Slaw
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, yellow mustard, pickled jalapeño juice, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and oregano until smooth.
- Fold the shredded Romaine into the bowl until completely covered. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate.
Garlic Butter
- In another small bowl, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan (if using). Set aside.
Slider Assembly
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and add the bottoms to a large sheet pan. Set the tops aside for now.No need to separate them into 12 individual sliders yet!
- Place sheets of Swiss cheese on the bottom halves, followed by layers of the turkey breast deli meat.
- Top the meat and cheese with the other half of the sliced rolls.
- Brush the garlic butter topping on top of the sliders.
- Gently toast using the “low broil” setting of your oven for 2-3 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, remove the tops once more, and place the cold lettuce slaw over all of the sliders.
- Place the tops back on and slice into 12 even sliders.
- Serve alongside Crispy Air Fried Potato Wedges, chips, or with other game day spreads like Stovetop Party Meatballs or Hot Crab Spinach Dip. Enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
The lettuce slaw will hold its crunch for about an hour if you want to make it beforehand. The flavor increases when it’s been sitting in the fridge!
For a longer-lasting coleslaw, use cabbage like in my Classic Coleslaw with Mayo recipe.
Transporting Notes:
Transporting the sliders? Keep the box and bag that the slider buns come in.
Toast the meat/cheese/bread, then bring the slaw separately and add on top right before serving.
Storage Notes:
You can store any leftover sliders in an airtight container (or wrapped in aluminum foil) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When you're ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 300℉ and bake for 6-8 minutes, until warmed through. You can also add to a toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
These taste really good cold as well - so feel free to skip any reheating if you want.
