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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached. Arrange the bottom halves in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread the mixture over the cut sides of the bottom rolls.
- Evenly distribute the shredded turkey over the prepared buns, followed by spooning the cranberry sauce over the turkey.
- Layer halved slices of cheese over the turkey and cranberry.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese, gently pressing down.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, and parsley. Brush over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- Remove from the oven, cool briefly, then separate the sliders with a knife.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For a crunchier top, toast the tops of the rolls under the broiler for a minute before adding the butter mixture.
