  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders (6 servings, 2 sliders per serving)

Ingredients

Slider Base

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls (or any dinner rolls)

Filling

  • 2 cups prepared stuffing
  • ½ pound cooked turkey breast (shredded or thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup jellied cranberry sauce

Topping & Glaze

  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • ½ Tablespoon honey mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon dried minced onion
  • ½ teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves cut side up in the baking dish.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Evenly spread 2 cups of prepared stuffing over the bottom halves of the rolls. Next, layer the cooked turkey breast on top of the stuffing, followed by 8 slices of Mozzarella cheese. Spread 1 cup of jellied cranberry sauce evenly over the cheese. Finally, cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dried minced onion. Generously brush this mixture across the tops of the assembled sliders for a flavorful glaze.
  4. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
  5. Bake to Brown Tops: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown the tops. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, sprinkle with poppy seeds and fresh minced chives for a colorful finish. Serve warm and enjoy these delicious handheld sandwiches.

Notes

  • Use leftover turkey and stuffing for an easy weeknight meal or party appetizer.
  • If you prefer, substitute the Mozzarella with cheddar or Swiss cheese.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and brushed right before baking for convenience.
  • Watch the sliders closely when uncovered baking to avoid over-browning.
  • These sliders are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated covered in the oven.
