Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
  2. Carefully slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half lengthwise while keeping them in a single piece.
  3. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking pan. Layer with diced turkey followed by a spread of cranberry sauce.
  4. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over the turkey and cranberry sauce, then place the top half of the rolls back on.
  5. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then whisk in yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dried minced onion.
  6. Drizzle the buttery mixture over the assembled sliders, then let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley before serving.
  9. Slice the sliders and serve warm.
