Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe·Leave a Review

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:

  • 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
