Ingredients
For the Sliders:
12 slider buns or dinner rolls
2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or sliced
1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
6-8 slices Havarti cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
For the Poppy Seed Topping:
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the prepared dish.
Layer Ingredients: Spread Dijon mustard over the bottom halves. Evenly distribute the turkey, followed by the cranberry sauce. Top with Havarti cheese slices, then place the top halves of the buns back on.
Make the Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, poppy seeds, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Apply the Topping: Pour or brush the butter mixture evenly over the sliders, ensuring the tops are fully coated.
Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve these sliders hot with a side of coleslaw, potato chips, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Storage: Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
