Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 1 package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (12 count)
- 8 ounces turkey lunch meat or leftover fully cooked turkey
- 1 cup prepared cranberry sauce
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
Glaze
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Rolls: Carefully separate the Hawaiian sweet rolls into top and bottom halves. Place the bottom halves evenly in the baking dish to form the base layer of the sliders.
- Layer Ingredients: On top of the bottom halves, layer the turkey slices, spread the prepared cranberry sauce evenly, then add provolone cheese slices. Finally, place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings to close the sliders.
- Make Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds. Stir frequently until the butter melts completely and the sugar dissolves, creating a smooth glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Pour the warm glaze evenly over the tops of the assembled sliders. Use a brush or spoon to spread the glaze thoroughly ensuring each slider is coated for maximum flavor and browning.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the sliders for 15 minutes. This helps heat through and melt the cheese gently.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5-6 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Cool and Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to settle and prevent burns while eating.
Notes
- Use leftover roasted turkey or turkey lunch meat depending on convenience and preference.
- For extra flavor, you can add a thin layer of mayo or cream cheese under the turkey.
- Make sure to brush the glaze evenly for a consistent sweet and tangy crust.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
