About the Recipe

Transform your weeknight dinner routine with these delicious Philly cheese sliders that capture all the iconic flavors of a classic cheesesteak in a lighter, more manageable form. Made with seasoned ground turkey instead of traditional steak, these sliders deliver plenty of protein while keeping things healthier without sacrificing taste. The turkey is cooked with aromatic onions and colorful bell peppers, then topped with gooey melted cheese - whether you prefer provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz for that authentic Philly experience. Served on soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls, these handheld delights are perfect for busy families who want a satisfying meal that comes together quickly. The slight sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls adds a delightful contrast to the savory filling. They're also great for entertaining, game day spreads, or whenever you're craving that distinctive Philly flavor profile in a fun, bite-sized format.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1 green pepper, chopped

  • 1 Vidalia sweet onion, chopped

  • 1 Tbs. Paprika

  • 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt (I always use Lawry's!)

  • 1 tsp. cracked black pepper

  • 1/2 block cream cheese

  • 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

  • Hawaiian rolls, cut in half horizontally (top and bottom)

  • 8 slices provolone cheese

  • 3 Tbs. butter

  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • Parmesan cheese, grated


Instructions

Step 1


Set the oven to 350 degrees to preheat. Chop the onions and peppers into small pieces.



Step 2


Cook the ground turkey with the peppers and onions until they are browned. As they cook, season with seasoning salt, pepper, and paprika. When finished, drain well. Add Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. Stir until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.


Step 3


In a 9 x 11 baking dish, coat the bottom with cooking spray and place the bottoms of the Hawaiian rolls inside. Layer the turkey mixture on top, followed by slices of cheese. Place the tops of the Hawaiian rolls over this, then brush with the butter and garlic mixture until thoroughly covered. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.


Step 4


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, making sure the top doesn't get too browned. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Cut the sliders along the bun splits.




Notes

  1. Add some spice To add a spicy kick to the mixture, you can include some red pepper flakes while cooking.

  2. Pairing - These sliders go well with the broccoli summer salad or simply some chips.
