Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls)
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or sliced
- 1 cup stuffing
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- 6 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
- ½ cup gravy (optional)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves in the baking dish.
- Layer the ingredients: Spread turkey evenly over the buns, followed by stuffing, cranberry sauce, and cheese. Place the top halves of the buns on top.
- Prepare the butter topping: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush over the top of the buns.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly, then cut and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with warm gravy before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the sliders with your favorite leftover side dishes like mashed potatoes or green bean casserole.
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle parmesan cheese over the butter mixture before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
