Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 slider rolls Hawaiian or dinner rolls
  • 2½ cups cooked turkey sliced or shredded
  • 6 slices Swiss provolone, or cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon dried herbs or parsley optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Slice slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in the dish.
  3. Layer turkey evenly over the rolls. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Place cheese slices over the turkey, then spoon cranberry sauce evenly on top.
  5. Cover with the top half of the rolls and press gently.
  6. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and herbs, then brush over the tops.
  7. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
  9. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Warm turkey slightly before assembling for best texture.
  • Don’t overdo the cranberry sauce—too much can make sliders soggy.
  • These sliders can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
