1lbturkey(leftover from Thanksgiving or turkey slices from the deli)
1cupcranberry sauce
5slicesHavarti Cheese
1tablespoonPoppy Seeds
3tablespoonunsalted butter
3teaspoonDijon mustard
2teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
1largeonionsliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and coat a large baking dish (big enough to fit all your sliders) with cooking spray.
Caramelize the onions by sauteing in butter and 1 teaspoon of sugar for about 20-30 minutes, or until soft and browned. Set aside.
Slice off the top of the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls so that you have a bottom half and a top half. Place the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls in a large casserole dish, coated with cooking spray.
Layer the turkey, then the cranberry sauce, then the cheese, and then the caramelized onions. Add the top to the casserole dish.
Heat the butter in a microwave safe bowl (or over the stove) until fully melted. Add the dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds and stir well to combine.
Pour the butter mixture over the top of the sliders, then cover the entire baking dish with aluminum foil.
Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the buns are a toasted, golden brown.
Notes
Caramelizing the onions can take a while, so if you don't have time for it, just saute them for 5-7 minutes until they're soft.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
