Delicious sliders combining tender turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and melted cheese, all nestled between sweet Hawaiian rolls. Perfect for utilizing Thanksgiving leftovers or as a savory snack.

 

Ingredients

– 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls

– 3 cups cooked turkey, diced or shredded

– 1 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred)

– 6 slices Swiss cheese

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– 2 teaspoons dried minced onion

– 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. **Preheat Oven:** Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

 

2. **Prepare Rolls:** Without separating the rolls, slice them horizontally to create a top and bottom half. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.

 

3. **Assemble Sliders:**

– **Layer Ingredients:** On the bottom half of the rolls, layer the turkey, followed by the cranberry sauce, and then the Swiss cheese slices.

– **Top with Rolls:** Place the top half of the rolls over the layered ingredients.

 

4. **Prepare Butter Mixture:** In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion, poppy seeds (if using), salt, and pepper.

 

5. **Apply Butter Mixture:** Evenly pour the butter mixture over the top of the assembled sliders, ensuring all are coated.

 

6. **Bake:**

– Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.

– Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

 

7. **Serve:** Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

 

Notes

– **Rolls:** Hawaiian sweet rolls add a pleasant sweetness, but any soft dinner rolls can be used.

– **Cheese:** Swiss cheese is recommended for its mild flavor and good melting properties; alternatives like provolone or cheddar can be used.

– **Turkey:** These sliders are ideal for using leftover turkey. Deli-sliced turkey breast is also a suitable option.

– **Cranberry Sauce:** Whole berry cranberry sauce provides texture and sweetness; adjust the quantity to your preference.

– **Butter Mixture:** The butter mixture adds flavor and helps achieve a golden, crispy top. Adjust seasonings to taste.
