Havarti Cranberry Turkey Sliders (Print-Friendly Version)

November gatherings and Thanksgiving leftovers shine with these baked turkey sliders. Finished with melted havarti and tangy cranberry sauce on Hawaiian rolls, they make every holiday table special. Definitely one to keep handy.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Slider Base

01 - 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls

→ Fillings

02 - 12 ounces sliced deli turkey or thinly sliced cooked turkey
03 - 8 ounces Havarti cheese, sliced
04 - 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

→ Butter Topping

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
07 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
08 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
09 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
10 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
11 - 2 teaspoons light brown sugar

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
02 - Using a serrated knife, slice the slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
03 - Arrange the bottom half of the rolls inside the prepared baking dish.
04 - Evenly distribute half of the Havarti cheese slices over the bottom rolls, then layer all of the turkey slices on top of the cheese.
05 - Spoon the cranberry sauce evenly across the turkey slices.
06 - Place the remaining Havarti slices over the cranberry layer, then cover with the top half of the rolls.
07 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, Dijon mustard, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until fully incorporated. Using a pastry brush, cover the tops and sides of the rolls with the seasoned butter.
08 - Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has melted and filling is heated through.
09 - Remove foil and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
10 - Remove from oven. Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a festive touch, substitute leftover roasted turkey in place of deli turkey. Serve sliders immediately to keep the rolls crisp.
