# What You'll Need:
→ Sliders
01 -
1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
02 -
1 pound deli-style oven-roasted turkey, thinly sliced
03 -
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
04 -
4 ounces gouda cheese, thinly sliced
05 -
4 ounces mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
06 -
Cooking spray
→ Butter Topping
07 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
08 -
2 tablespoons sliced chives, plus extra for garnish
09 -
½ teaspoon poppy seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
10 -
¼ teaspoon onion powder
11 -
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Place the Hawaiian rolls on a cutting board, keeping them connected. Using a long bread knife, carefully slice horizontally in half. Set the top halves aside. Evenly arrange the turkey on the bottom halves, spread cranberry sauce over the turkey, then layer gouda and cheddar slices on top. Replace the tops to close the sliders.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the softened butter. Stir in sliced chives, poppy seeds, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
04 -
Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the sliders. Sprinkle additional poppy seeds atop for added texture. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil to retain moisture.
05 -
Bake covered sliders for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until buns are golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 -
Transfer sliders to a serving platter and garnish with extra sliced chives before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Using deli-style oven-roasted turkey ensures tenderness and flavor. Warming the butter mixture before brushing helps it absorb better.
