Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) thinly sliced deli turkey or leftover turkey
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 2 cups (480 ml) stuffing, prepared
- 6 tbsps (85 g) salted butter, melted
- 1 cup (240 ml) cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp poppy seeds
- 2 tsp minced dried onion
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ideal environment for golden-brown slider perfection.
- Assembly Foundation: Slice slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected at the bottom. Arrange bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a unified base for layering.
- Flavor Layering: Spread stuffing evenly across bun bottoms, then delicately place turkey slices. Whisk cranberry sauce with Dijon mustard and apply as a zesty spread over the turkey.
- Flavor Enhancement: Combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, and additional Dijon mustard. Brush this aromatic mixture generously over the slider tops, ensuring complete coverage.
- Baking Process: Transfer the prepared dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until sliders transform into a golden-brown delicacy with heated, melded fillings.
- Resting and Serving: Allow sliders to rest for 5 minutes, enabling flavor integration. Carefully slice along pre-cut lines without fully separating. Serve warm, accompanied by a side salad or chips for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Slice Strategically: Keep bun bottoms connected for easy assembly and neat presentation.
- Layer Wisely: Distribute stuffing and turkey evenly to ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
- Butter Blend Magic: Whisking the butter mixture thoroughly prevents ingredient separation and creates a uniform, flavorful coating.
- Rest and Meld: Letting sliders rest after baking allows flavors to blend and makes handling easier without losing heat or texture.
