Notes

How many servings for this recipe? It looks delish!
Well it makes 24. I think it depends on what else you are serving. If you have a bunch of sides, then 24, not many sides, then I would say 12.
David Brown says
These were easy and amazing!!! I made them for a tennis match and they were a huge hit. Luckily my pan wouldn’t hold all 24 so I had enough stuff to make more when I got home. Yay me!!!
Ha! I’m so glad you liked them David! I ate entirely too many of these after photographing them.
Lisa Hull says
They look awesome! Can’t wait to try these! I have a question about the slider rolls you use. I typically use Hawaiian Rolls for sliders, but I’m wondering if they would be too sweet for this Italian Pesto Slider. What do you think? Also, what rolls do you use?
That’s what I used here Lisa! They were perfect!
Mia says
I don’t know how, but I mixed up this recipe with another on Pinterest. I had no turkey! I did however, have salami and pepperoni. I followed the recipe but added an extra layer of mozzarella along with roasted red peppers and pepperoncinis(banana peppers). I also added grated parmesan to the butter and Italian season mixture. It was amazing!!!
Jayne McGrath says
A glass lasagna pan or 13 X 9 doesn’t seem to fit 24
Is the pan size correct. And these look like party rolls dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls, slider rolls are larger? Please specify brand and most come in 12 count that I found, so you would need two packages and not use them all from second package. I used the Hawaiian dinner rolls but the were not split, so I had to slice them open.
They are the smaller size rolls Jayne. You can get the Hawaiian rolls in a one pack of 24, though you certainly could make this with bigger rolls and then just make 12.
Darcie says
Would these be good if assembled the night before and then baked them right before serving.
I think they would be fine, but given how little work they require, I probably wouldn’t. I probably would just throw them together right before baking.
Michele says
Can these sandwiches be made the night before?
I think you could try putting them together and just not baking them. That said, I don’t know if it’s worth it. They really take so little time to throw together.
Michele says
That is true!! Thank you!
Kristine says
I cannot find the jenni-o turkey. What would you recommend using?
I would just get another kind of sliced Jennie-O turkey, maybe like a honey roast?
Kristine says
I cannot not find the Jenni-o sun dried tomato turkey. What would you recommend using? I want to make these next weekend.
I would grab one of their other deli meats that your grocery store has. Just a plain roasted would be great!
