Leftover Turkey Cranberry Slider Bake

🥪 Weekly Recipe: Leftover Turkey Cranberry Slider Bake

Think: gooey, cheesy, sweet–savory little sandwiches you can toss together in 10 minutes and feed a whole Hive.

🧺 Ingredients

• 1 package Hawaiian rolls (12-count)
  2–3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
  1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella)
  1/2–3/4 cup cranberry sauce (jellied or whole-berry)
  1/2 cup turkey gravy or mayo (for moisture – optional but delicious)
  3 Tbsp butter, melted
  1 tsp Dijon mustard
  1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  1/2 tsp garlic powder
  1/2 tsp onion powder
  Pinch of salt & pepper
  
  

• Optional:
  Sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds on top
  A few slices of red onion or spinach if your crew will tolerate “green things” 😂
  
  

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line a 9x13 baking dish.
   
   

2. Slice the rolls in half horizontally (keep them in one big sheet), and place the bottom half in the dish.
   
   

3. Spread a thin layer of gravy or mayo on the bottom buns (optional, but keeps them from drying out).
   
   

4. Layer the good stuff:
   
   

   • Turkey
     Spoonfuls of cranberry sauce
     Sprinkle the cheese all over
     
     

5. Put the top sheet of rolls back on.
   
   

6. In a small bowl, whisk together:
   
   

   • Melted butter
     Dijon
     Worcestershire
     Garlic powder
     Onion powder
     Salt & pepper
     Brush this all over the top of the rolls. Add bagel seasoning or poppy seeds if using.
     
     

7. Cover with foil and bake for about 15 minutes, then uncover and bake another 5–7 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted and happy.
   Let them cool a few minutes, then slice and serve. They pull apart super easily.
