Ingredients in Turkey and Swiss Sliders
Making turkey and cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls only requires a handful of easy to find, and very common, fridge and pantry ingredients including:
King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls – I am a big fan of King’s Hawaiian. In my opinion, there’s really no substitutions for that brand. I’ve never tried a generic or store brand. Leftover turkey – or deli turkey Cranberry sauce – homemade or store-bought (I prefer whole berry) Sliced Swiss cheese – If you’re a cheese fanatic, you can add a few extra slices without thinking twice. Unsalted butter – If you’re a person that likes finger lickin’ good type of sliders, then increase the amount of butter. Double or triple it, whatever you like. Poppy seeds – add a nice crunch

How to Make Turkey and Swiss Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
It doesn’t get any easier to use up that leftover Thanksgiving turkey than these sliders! Here’s an overview of how the turkey and Swiss sliders come together: Preheat the oven and spray a 9 x 13-inch pan or casserole dish with cooking spray. If you’re using a metal pan, I always line my pan with nonstick foil for easier cleanup but it’s optional.
