- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
- ½ tbsp (7.5 mL) honey
- 1 tsp (5 mL) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tsps dried minced onion
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk honey mustard butter ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and uniform, setting aside for later application.
- Oven Setup: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for streamlined cleanup.
- Roll Preparation: Slice connected dinner rolls horizontally, keeping the roll structure intact and gently separating the top layer.
- Base Layer Construction: Position bottom roll section on baking sheet, layering Swiss cheese slices, turkey, and cranberry sauce with strategic precision.
- Cheese and Topping: Add remaining cheese slices to create a melted, rich surface and carefully replace the top roll half.
- Flavor Infusion: Drizzle prepared honey mustard butter sauce evenly across roll surface, ensuring comprehensive flavor distribution.
- Baking Process: Cover rolls with foil and bake for 25 minutes, allowing ingredients to meld and heat thoroughly, then uncover for the final 5 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Serving Preparation: Remove from oven and let rest briefly before serving these warm, flavor-packed turkey sliders.
Notes
- Cheese Layering Technique: Strategically place cheese slices on both bottom and top layers to create a melty, gooey texture that enhances overall slider richness.
- Sauce Distribution Trick: Drizzle honey mustard butter sauce evenly to ensure each bite delivers consistent, bold flavor throughout the slider.
- Foil Covering Strategy: Use aluminum foil during initial baking to trap moisture and prevent bread from drying out, then uncover for final crispiness.
- Resting Period Importance: Allow sliders to rest briefly after baking to let flavors meld and cheese settle, improving overall taste and texture.
