Ingredients:

  • 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 lb deli turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Havarti cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced dill pickles
  • 4 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a serrated bread knife to slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls.
  2. Place the bottom half of the rolls into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Lay down half of the Havarti cheese slices to create a hydrophobic fat barrier.
  3. Fold the turkey slices to create volume and distribute them evenly over the cheese layer. Evenly distribute the sliced dill pickles over the turkey if using.
  4. Layer the remaining Havarti cheese slices over the turkey and place the top half of the rolls back on.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, and poppy seeds.
  6. Use a pastry brush to apply the savory glaze generously over the tops of the rolls. Brush the sides too for extra flavor.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the turkey is steamed.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the tops reach a mahogany-colored, golden crust.
