Instructions

Activate Yeast: Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit until yeast bubbles.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs and melted butter.
Make Dough: In a mixer bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the egg mixture and yeast mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix until well combined. The dough will be soft.
Let Dough Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Prepare Filling: While dough rises, combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Assemble: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough into a 16×16-inch square. Cut into 4 strips. Divide filling into 4 portions and spread along each strip. Pinch edges together to form rolls. Cut each roll into 1-inch pieces.
Bake: Place pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Turkey Substitute: Use rotisserie chicken or cooked ham instead of turkey.
Spice Level: Adjust hot sauce and chili garlic sauce to your preference.
Freezer-Friendly: Bake, cool, and freeze for later. Reheat in the oven.
Dough Consistency: Adjust flour or water if the dough is too sticky or dry.
Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch or honey mustard.
