Ingredients

Scale

Slider Assembly

  • 12 slider buns
  • 12 slices cooked turkey
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce

Finishing

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm it up, ensuring it reaches the right temperature by the time your sliders are ready to bake.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Slice each slider bun in half horizontally. Layer one slice of cooked turkey on the bottom half of each bun, then add a piece of halved Swiss cheese, and a spoonful of cranberry sauce on top.
  3. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place all the assembled slider bottoms in a single layer in a baking dish, then cover them with the top halves of the slider buns.
  4. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the tops of the slider buns with the melted butter. This will help them brown nicely while baking.
  5. Bake the Sliders: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the buns are golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving meal for convenience and flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different taste.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a thin slice of stuffing inside the sliders before baking.
  • These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated; just brush with butter and bake before serving.
  • Use whole wheat slider buns for a healthier twist.
