The slider craze is sweeping through kitchens, and I’ve got the perfect recipe to keep the momentum going—Thanksgiving Sliders. Picture this: succulent shreds of leftover turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and gooey cheddar cheese sandwiched between soft Hawaiian rolls. But the real magic happens when a savory concoction of butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and everything bagel seasoning elevates these sliders to a whole new level. In just a few simple steps, your holiday leftovers become a culinary masterpiece.

What You Need to Make These:

  • 12 ounces Hawaiian rolls
  • Leftover turkey, shredded
  • Cranberry sauce
  • Cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling

Step By Step Thanksgiving Slider Bliss

  3. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and nestle them snugly in a 13 by 9 pan, eagerly awaiting their flavorful transformation.

4. Bestow upon them the bounty of Thanksgiving leftovers—shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, and a generous layer of cheddar cheese.

5. Now, let the magic happen. Brush that seasoned butter mixture over the rolls, ensuring each one gets a fair share of the flavor fiesta.
