Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, sliced or shredded
  • 3/4 cup cranberry sauce
  • 6 slices of cheese (such as Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each slider.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Place a layer of turkey evenly across the bottom halves of the buns. Spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey, then top each with a slice of cheese.
  3. Heat the Sliders: Cover the sliders with the top halves of the buns. Place them on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and everything is warmed through.
  4. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use deli-style turkey or leftover roasted turkey for this recipe.
  • Try different varieties of cheese to customize the flavor profile, such as gouda or pepper jack.
  • If preferred, heat sliders in a skillet with a lid over medium heat to melt the cheese instead of using the oven.
  • For a crispier top, broil the sliders for 1–2 minutes after heating.
  • These sliders are great for holiday gatherings or casual lunches.
