Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour, then gradually adding milk until thickened. Stir in seasonings and cheeses until smooth.
Mix melted butter with garlic salt and parsley. Slice rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
Layer turkey slices, tomatoes, and crumbled bacon over the rolls. Pour cheese sauce on top before placing the top half of the rolls back on.
Brush with garlic butter mixture, cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden.
