These Turkey Cranberry Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make meal perfect for gatherings or a quick dinner. Featuring layers of sliced turkey, creamy mayonnaise, melted cheese, and sweet jellied cranberry sauce, all sandwiched between buttery slider buns and topped with parmesan cheese, they offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors baked to melty perfection.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Slider Assembly

  • 9 slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 slices cheese (havarti or gouda preferred)
  • 2 cups sliced turkey meat
  • 8-9 slices jellied cranberry sauce

Topping

  • Butter (for greasing and rubbing on buns)
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom of an 8×8 or 8×10 baking dish with butter to prevent the slider buns from sticking during baking.
  2. Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish. Spread mayonnaise evenly over each bun bottom. Layer with slices of cheese, then add the sliced turkey meat followed by the jellied cranberry sauce slices. Top with the corresponding top halves of the slider buns. Rub some butter over the surface of the bun tops and sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered tops for a golden finish.
  3. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to keep moisture in and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the sliders to heat thoroughly.
  4. Bake Uncovered: Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking the sliders for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops slightly and create a lightly crisp texture.
  5. Serve: Remove the sliders carefully from the oven and set aside briefly. Using a serrated knife, cut the entire tray of sliders into nine individual sandwiches. Serve immediately while warm and melty for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the butter before brushing it on the buns.
  • You can substitute the jellied cranberry sauce with whole berry cranberry sauce if preferred, but adjust quantity for sweetness and moisture accordingly.
  • Use different cheeses such as Swiss or mozzarella for a variation in taste.
  • These sliders can be made ahead of time and refrigerated; bake just before serving to heat through.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute cheese and butter with vegan alternatives.
