- 12 rolls Hawaiian Rolls (Consider gluten-free or brioche options.)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Softened; Neufchâtel cheese can be used for a lighter option.)
- 1 cup Whole Cranberry Sauce (Homemade or fruit preserves work great.)
- 2 cups Turkey (Use leftover or deli-sliced turkey, cut into pieces.)
- 8 oz Havarti Cheese (Substitute with cheddar or gouda if preferred.)
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter (Unsalted butter with kosher salt can be substituted.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced; use garlic powder if fresh is unavailable.)
- 1 tbsp Dried Minced Onion (Chopped fresh onion can be used for a stronger flavor.)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (Omit for gluten-free version.)
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt (Adjust to taste.)
- 1 tbsp Poppy Seeds (Optional garnish.)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls lengthwise, keeping them connected.
- Spread cream cheese evenly over the bottom half of the sliced rolls.
- Add cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese and layer with turkey.
- Layer slices of Havarti cheese over the turkey.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, dried onion, Worcestershire sauce, and kosher salt.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the assembled sliders and sprinkle poppy seeds on top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted.
- For a crispier top, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Let the sliders cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serve warm.
Notes
- Adjust salt to your preference.
- Use leftover turkey for a quicker option.
- Experiment with different types of cheese.
