Let’s be honest.  The Thanksgiving meal is good, but there is nothing quite like the leftovers.  And by leftovers, I’m talking turkey- the turkey sandwich- the king of the ‘after Thanksgiving’ meal.  But that sandwich doesn’t just have to be 2 slices of bread and a pile of turkey. It can have all of the pizzazz and zing of the main event with these little turkey sliders.

And why not?  These easy little sammies are loaded with special.  Layers of savory turkey and tart cranberries keep it classic while the cream cheese and a smoky, rich sauce of Dijon, Worcestershire sauce & butter over Hawaiian rolls bring the WOW and then some!  And they’re so quick & easy to make (like anything after all that holiday cooking should be).  

 

Only one Leftover Turkey Slider with cranberries left

But here’s the secret!  No one really wants to wait until after Thanksgiving around here for these little delicious gems.  As a result, I end up taking them to all kinds of parties, potlucks and get-togethers throughout the whole holiday season.  They’re perfect for just that sort of thing!  And the best part?  I always leave with an empty dish!

Ingredients

  • 12-15 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 lb sliced turkey
  • 14 oz whole (or jellied) cranberry sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ C butter, melted

  • In a small mixing bowl, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  • Open the package of Hawaiian rolls. Keeping all the rolls together, carefully slice the rolls in half keeping all the tops attached together to create 'slab' of tops and the bottoms together to create s 'slab' of bottoms.
  • Place the 'slab' of bottoms in the 9x13 pan. Spread bottoms with whipped cream cheese, then cranberry sauce. Top with sliced turkey. Top with top 'slab' of buns.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together melted butter, mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion and pepper. Pour over tops of rolls and down the sides. Use a pastry brush to spread evenly.
