Your Holiday Turkey Just Got an Upgrade! Check Out these Delicious Sliders

For the longest time, I would only eat one serving of turkey because I always considered it to be a bit dry. However, if it’s prepared properly, it’s flavorful and delicious and there’s no need to be nervous about the leftovers. You can repurpose that leftover turkey and enjoy a dish that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

This recipe can utilize a whole heap of leftovers such as turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Pair these ingredients with your favorite cheese and some Hawaiian Rolls and you have a new finger food that everyone will love. You can even get fancy by using pretzel buns for your sliders.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pack Hawaiian Sweet Rolls 12 Count
  • Turkey Leftovers
  • Prepared Stuffing
  • 1 Can Cranberry Sauce
  • 6 Lg. Slices of Provolone or Swiss
  • 1 Stick Butter
  • 1 T Mustard
  • 1 T Poppy Seeds (optional)
  • 1 T Worcestershire Sauce
  • ⅛ Cup Brown Sugar

Directions:

  1. Cut all the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half and lay in the bottom half in a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Layer the rolls with a layer of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
  3. Top with the slices of cheese. 
  4. Place the other half of the rolls on top.
  5. Run a knife in between all rolls to separate slightly.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine butter, mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
  7. Spoon the sauce over the rolls. Do NOT pour the sauce on top.
  8. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  9. Before baking cover with foil.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F
  11. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  12. Remove foil for the last 5 minutes of baking so the tops of rolls brown slightly.
  13. Serve & Enjoy!
