For the Sliders
- 12 pieces Hawaiian rolls (Can swap for dinner rolls or slider buns)
- 2 cups leftover turkey (Shredded or sliced thin)
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (Whole berry or jellied)
- 6 slices cheese (Swiss, Provolone, White Cheddar or Brie) (Choose a creamy cheese that melts well)
For the Savory Butter Topping
- 1/2 cup butter (Melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning (Optional)
- a pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping them connected.
Assembly
- Layer the cheese on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Add the turkey evenly over the cheese.
- Spread cranberry sauce over the turkey, then optionally add another layer of cheese.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, and salt.
- Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Baking
- Cover the assembled sliders loosely with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Notes
For a lighter version, serve with a green salad or pickles. You can prepare the sliders ahead of time and refrigerate without the butter topping for up to 24 hours before baking.
