# What You Need:
→ Slider Assembly
01 -
1 package Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally as one piece
02 -
12 slices deli turkey, evenly layered
03 -
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
04 -
6 slices Havarti cheese, torn to fit
→ Butter Topping
05 -
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
06 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
08 -
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
09 -
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
10 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
02 -
Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place bottom half in the prepared dish, cut side up.
03 -
Layer sliced turkey evenly across the bottom layer of rolls, covering all areas for consistent bites.
04 -
Spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey and spread evenly to all corners using a spatula.
05 -
Place Havarti cheese slices over the cranberry layer, overlapping slightly and tearing as needed to fully cover.
06 -
Gently place the top half of the rolls over the layered ingredients and press down slightly.
07 -
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced onion, poppy seeds, and chopped chives until well combined.
08 -
Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, making sure to coat evenly into the seams.
09 -
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 15–18 minutes until heated through and cheese is melting.
10 -
Uncover and bake an additional 3–5 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
11 -
Slice between each roll to separate sliders and serve immediately while warm.
# Important Notes:
01 -
Use whole berry cranberry sauce for texture or jellied for smooth spreadability.
02 -
These can be assembled a day in advance and refrigerated; just brush with butter before baking.
03 -
Shredded leftover turkey can substitute deli slices—use about 3 to 4 cups.
04 -
Leftover sliders can be reheated at 300°F for about 10 minutes or microwaved for 30–45 seconds.
05 -
Avoid overbaking in the final stage to prevent burning the tops—monitor closely.
