Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking in flour for 1 minute. Gradually add whole milk while whisking until thickened. Stir in cheeses until smooth.
Slice the rolls in half and layer the bottom with half of the cheese sauce. Add turkey, tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. Top with remaining cheese sauce and place the roll tops back on.
Brush tops with melted butter mixed with garlic salt and parsley. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before slicing into individual sliders.
