Thanksgiving Sliders are a delightful way to repurpose your holiday feast leftovers into a satisfying meal. These sliders are layered with sliced leftover turkey, creamy cheese, and sweet cranberry sauce, all nestled between soft Hawaiian sweet rolls. The combination of flavors and textures makes for a truly enjoyable dish that everyone will love.

To prepare these sliders, you'll start by melting unsalted butter and whisking it together with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and kosher salt to create a flavorful topping. The Hawaiian sweet rolls serve as the perfect vessel for the fillings, providing a hint of sweetness that complements the savory turkey and tart cranberry sauce.

Baking the sliders covered with foil helps to keep them moist, while uncovering them towards the end allows the tops to get beautifully golden and melty. These sliders are not only easy to make but also perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying as a leftover treat.

When serving, consider pairing these sliders with a side of sweet potato fries or a light salad for a complete meal. They can also be made ahead of time and baked just before serving, making them a convenient option for busy holiday schedules.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butter Mixture

    5 min

    Melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Assemble Sliders

    10 min

    Using a serrated knife, cut 1 (12-ounce) package of Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer with 6 slices of cheese, 12 ounces sliced leftover turkey, 1 cup cranberry sauce, and another 6 slices of cheese. Top with the other half of the rolls.

  3. Brush and Bake

    30 min

    Brush the tops of the assembled sliders with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melty.

FAQ

Yes, you can use freshly cooked turkey instead of leftovers. Just slice it thinly to match the texture of leftover turkey.
