Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Assemble the sliders
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Use the oil to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Keeping the rolls attached, slice the entire package horizontally with a serrated knife.
  4. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared dish.
  5. Spread the mayonnaise over the cut side of the bottom half.
  6. Layer on the turkey, cranberry sauce, and Swiss cheese.
  7. Replace the top half of the rolls.
Make the topping and bake
  1. Whisk the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds in a small bowl.
  2. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
  3. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Uncover and bake for 5 to 8 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  5. Rest the sliders for 5 minutes, then cut apart and serve.

Notes

Keep the rolls attached when slicing for easier assembly. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freeze yes. For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free rolls.
