Equipment

  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

Cranberry Sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
Sliders
  • (1) 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/4-1/2 pound thinly sliced deli turkey (for thick sliders, use 1/2 pound of turkey; can also use thin-sliced baked turkey)
  • 8 slices pepper jack cheese (or a 16-ounce block of cheese, finely sliced)
Butter Topping
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Cranberry Sauce
  • Place the sugar, water, orange juice, and cranberries in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on medium heat and cook until the cranberries burst. Using a masher, tamp the berries to help break them up. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
Sliders
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to make a top and a bottom.
  • Place 2 long sheets of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. You will need enough foil to completely wrap the sliders for baking. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the middle of the foil. Divide the cheese and add a layer to cover the bread.
  • Add a layer of turkey on top of the cheese.
  • Add cranberry sauce to each slider, and then top with the rolls.
Butter Topping
  • Melt the butter and add the mustard, onion powder, and Worcestershire. Whisk to blend. Use a brush to cover the entire top and sides of the sliders with the butter mixture. Drizzle any leftover butter on the sliders. Sprinkle the sliders with poppy and sesame seeds.
  • Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Pull back the foil to expose the sliders. Bake uncovered for 2 more minutes. Serve warm.
