How to make Cranberry Brie Turkey Sliders

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray the bottom of an 8×11 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. 
  2. Use a serrated bread knife to slice the sweet Hawaiian rolls in half. Leave the entire slab of rolls attached to each other and cut through as evenly as possible so the top and bottom sections are about equal in thickness. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish. 
  3. Evenly place sliced turkey to cover the bottom section of the rolls.  
  1. Spread cranberry sauce over the turkey. 
  2. Top cranberry sauce with sliced brie.
  3. Place the top half of the rolls on top. 
  1. Combine butter, mustard, poppy seeds, and salt in a microwave-safe small bowl. Microwave until fully melted. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture evenly across the tops of the buns. The poppy seeds tend to sink to the bottom, so be sure to scrape the bottom with the brush to get them. You can sprinkle extra on the top of the buns if you like more poppy seeds. 
  2. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 
  3. Remove aluminum foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. 
  1. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 
  2. Slice carefully into individual sliders. 
  3. Place on a serving tray and garnish with fresh thyme. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

  • You can use different kinds of mustard such as stone ground, dijon, or regular yellow mustard.
  • Add some dried herbs on top of the turkey layer like thyme, sage, or rosemary for an even more gourmet flavor.
  • Change up the flavors of the butter sauce by adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce, some brown sugar, or season it up with onion powder and garlic powder. 
  • Choose your favorite cheese, or try some of these: havarti cheese, Swiss cheese, provolone cheese, or cheddar cheese. 
  • Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe or look for the larger package of King’s Hawaiian rolls in the 24-count pack. Bake a larger batch on a baking sheet, and be sure to cover it with foil so the tops don’t burn.
