I’d like to make these this weekend, but I’m having trouble thinking of sides to pair with it. Any suggestions?
I’m so late to answering this, but I thin that these Zucchini Baked Fries, these Italian Roasted Smashed Potatoes, or this Zucchini Salad would be great!

Hey what is pesto? Do you buy it or do you make it??? These sliders look awesome!!!!
Pesto is a sauce that has a base of fresh basil leaves. There are great recipes for it out there otherwise you can buy it premade near the pasta sauce.

Going to make these tomorrow. Can u use the Hawaiian rolls in place of slider buns. I didn’t look at recipe when i got stuff to make them
Absolutely!

These are delicious! I made half the recipe using small-size Hawaiian Rolls (Butter Flavor). I think the Jennie-O Sun Dried Tomato Turkey Breast has been discontinued. I bought smoked turkey breast and a jar of sun dried tomatoes. I blotted as much oil as possible and finely diced the sun dried tomatoes. Then sprinkled them over the turkey before adding the shredded mozzarella. I only used half the butter- about 2 oz or 4 TBSP. That was plenty. The ‘game night gals’ loved them! Thanks for the recipe. I will make make again…
I’m glad you liked it!

Can these be made ahead of time? I’m trying to bring them in for a work pot luck and don’t have access to an oven at work during lunch
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend bringing sliders somewhere if you can’t serve them warm. You might consider bringing this Pesto Chicken Salad instead. Similar tastes but delicious cold.
