Method
 

Assemble the rolls
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Keeping the rolls connected, slice the whole slab horizontally.
  4. Place the bottom half in the prepared dish.
  5. Stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
  6. Spread the mixture over the cut sides of both halves.
  7. Layer the turkey and Gouda over the bottom half.
  8. Set the top half in place.
Add the topping and bake
  1. Melt the butter.
  2. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and poppy seeds.
  3. Brush the topping evenly over the rolls.
  4. Cover the dish loosely with foil.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  7. Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Cut along the roll seams and serve.

Notes

For neat layers, keep the slab connected while slicing. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the rolls may turn soft. Light mayonnaise can be used as a lighter option.
