Description
These Cheesy Cranberry Turkey Sliders are a perfect holiday appetizer or quick dinner. Layers of tender turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and melted cheese are baked on soft slider buns until golden and bubbly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian rolls)
- 1 pound deli-sliced turkey breast
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup provolone cheese, sliced
- 3/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish.
- Spread cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom buns.
- Layer turkey slices over the cranberry sauce, followed by shredded cheddar and provolone slices.
- Place the top buns over the cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the buns, letting it soak in slightly.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the buns are golden and cheese is melted.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before separating into sliders. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a layer of leftover stuffing or a handful of baby spinach. These sliders can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; add the butter glaze just before baking.
