Print Recipe

These quick and easy sliders combine leftover turkey, sweet-tart cranberry sauce, and melty cheese on soft Hawaiian rolls, all brushed with a fragrant garlic butter. Perfect for using up holiday leftovers or a simple weeknight dinner, they come together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12-count package sweet Hawaiian rolls (or any soft slider buns)
  • 1 ½ pounds cooked turkey breast, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (or Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Without separating the rolls, slice the entire block in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in an ungreased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
  3. Layer the shredded or sliced turkey evenly over the cranberry sauce.
  4. Place the cheese slices over the turkey, tearing or folding to cover as much surface area as possible.
  5. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and press down gently.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in as well.
  7. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, getting it into all the crevices.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
  10. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing along the individual roll lines. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, let the turkey sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling. If making ahead, assemble completely, brush with garlic butter, cover with foil, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add about 10 minutes to covered baking time. Do not over-brush the garlic butter to avoid soggy rolls. Let sliders rest 5 minutes after baking for clean slices.
