1 package King’s Hawaiian Rolls
3 c smoked pulled turkey
1 1/2 c Buffalo sauce
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1 stick butter, melted
1 package ranch seasoning
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz blue cheese crumbles
1 c blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Preheat grill or smoker to 350°F. Remove the rolls from the package keeping the loaf intact. Using a long bread knife, carefully slice the entire loaf open to create a large top and bottom set of connected rolls.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and ranch seasoning. Using a basting brush, spread half of the butter mixture on the bottom set of the rolls. In another bowl, combine the pulled turkey and Buffalo sauce and mix until thoroughly coated. Layer sliced mozzarella cheese across the bottom set of rolls and then add the sauced turkey and blue cheese crumbles, spreading evenly across the rolls. Top with shredded cheese.
Place the other set of rolls on top. Finish by basting the tops of the rolls with the remaining ranch butter mixture.
Smoke or grill using indirect heat and uncovered for 30 minutes. Pull once the cheese has fully melted and the tops of the buns are browned. Serve Buffalo Turkey Sliders with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
