Description

Delightful sliders made with Thanksgiving leftovers, combining turkey, cranberry sauce, and cheese in a quick and easy bake.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or sliced
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese or provolone cheese, halved
  • 12 slider rolls or mini brioche buns
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Arrange the bottom halves in a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mix evenly over the cut side of the bottom rolls.
  4. Evenly distribute the turkey across the rolls and spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey layer.
  5. Layer the halved slices of cheese over the turkey and cranberry combination. Place the top halves of the rolls back over the cheese.
  6. In another bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, and parsley. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool briefly. Use a sharp knife to separate the sliders.

Notes

Best served warm right out of the oven. Pair with a side salad or crispy potato chips.
