Description
Transform your leftover turkey and cranberry sauce into simple, satisfying Turkey Cranberry Sliders. These mini sandwiches are perfect for a quick post-holiday snack when you need something delicious fast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Slider Buns (Hawaiian rolls or small brioche work well)
- 1 cup Cooked Turkey, shredded or thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce
- 4 slices Provolone or Swiss Cheese, halved
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected if possible.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the Dijon mustard, if you are using it. Brush this mixture lightly over the cut sides of the buns.
- Layer the bottom halves of the buns with the shredded turkey.
- Place a half-slice of cheese over the turkey on each slider portion.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the cheese on each slider.
- Place the top halves of the buns onto the sliders.
- Wrap the entire tray of assembled sliders loosely in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Remove the foil for the last 2 minutes if you prefer a slightly toasted top.
- Slice the sliders apart and serve immediately.
Notes
- Hawaiian rolls add a nice sweetness that pairs well with the savory turkey.
- If your turkey is dry, a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun adds moisture.
- You can substitute Brie or Havarti cheese for a creamier texture.
- For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic powder before baking.
