Can I use deli turkey instead of leftover roasted turkey?

Absolutely! While I adore the depth of flavor from leftover Thanksgiving turkey, deli turkey works beautifully in a pinch. Just stack it thick (none of those skimpy slices!) and maybe give it a quick warm-up in the microwave to make it extra tender before layering.

Can I freeze these sliders?

Yes indeed! These are perfect for meal planning and freezer meals. After baking, let them cool completely, then wrap individual sliders tightly in plastic wrap followed by foil. They'll keep for 2 months frozen. Reheat straight from frozen at 350°F for about 15 minutes - just as good as fresh!

What can I use instead of Hawaiian rolls?

While Hawaiian rolls are my favorite for their sweet-soft magic, you can use slider buns, dinner rolls, or even sliced brioche in a pinch. Just adjust baking time slightly as some breads toast faster. For more fabulous recipe ideas, check out my Pinterest boards !
