Cheesy Everything Turkey and Cranberry Sliders

Servings 12 sliders

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise 
  • 3 tbsp leftover cranberry sauce
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
  • 2 cups shredded turkey meat (or 12 thick slices of deli turkey)
  • 4 ounces sliced Swiss cheese (about 6 slices)
  • 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese (about 6 slices)
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard (or Dijon)
  • 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning (or poppy seeds and a pinch of sea salt)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a small bowl, stir mayonnaise and cranberry sauce together. In a separate small bowl, stir melted butter and honey together. 
  • Use a long serrated knife to split the buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the buns on the baking sheet. Spread the cranberry mayonnaise in an even layer on the cut side of the bottom layer of the buns, then top with turkey, Swiss cheese, and provolone cheese. Spread the cut side of the top buns with mustard and place on top of cheese layer. 
  • Pour honey butter over the tops and sides of the buns until they’re all coated. If you have a pastry brush, use it to make sure the butter spreads evenly. If you don’t have a pastry brush, use your fingers! Sprinkle the tops with Everything But The Bagel seasoning. 
  • Place in the oven and bake until the buns are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Slice and serve. 

Notes

Cooking Tips

If you have leftover Parker House rolls, those would be great here in place of the King’s Hawaiian rolls! Any roll works, really, though the pull-apart aspect of King’s Hawaiian ones makes assembly a breeze. 
Leftover ham or chicken would work perfectly if there’s not an excess of turkey in your house.
Want to make these when it’s not Thanksgiving? Swap raspberry jam in for the cranberry sauce, and sliced deli turkey in for the roasted turkey.
