Turkey Cranberry Sliders
These turkey cranberry sliders are warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced with savory turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and melty cheese. Ideal for holiday leftovers, game day spreads, or an easy weeknight meal, they come together quickly and disappear fast.
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls or slider rolls
- 3 cups cooked turkey sliced or shredded
- ¾ cup cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought
- 6 slices Swiss cheese or provolone, halved
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional Add-Ins
- Fresh thyme or rosemary finely chopped
- ¼ tsp Orange zest
- Poppy seeds or sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice the slider rolls horizontally, keeping them connected if possible. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
- Evenly layer the turkey over the rolls.
- Spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey and gently spread.
- Add cheese slices in a single layer.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Avoid adding too much cranberry sauce to prevent soggy sliders.
- Covering with foil first helps keep the turkey moist.
- Let sliders rest briefly before cutting for cleaner slices.
