How to Make Sweet & Spicy Cranberry Sriracha Turkey Sliders
Shred the Leftover Turkey: Start by grabbing your leftover turkey and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Add it to a mixing bowl with the cranberry sauce and Sriracha sauce (tarzan it up until it reaches your desired spice level).
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), making sure it’s nice and hot for a perfect bake.
Prep the Dinner Rolls: Cut each of the dinner rolls in half horizontally and brush the insides with melted butter. Trust me, this is a game-changer for flavor!
Assemble the Sliders: Lay the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish and place a generous portion of the turkey mixture on top. There’s nothing worse than a skimpy slider, am I right?
Season: Toss in a couple pinches of salt and pepper to bring everything together.
Top it Off: Place the top halves of the rolls over the turkey mixture, forming the sliders, and then place them gently onto a baking sheet.
Cover & Bake: Cover the filled rolls with aluminum foil and pop them into your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. You want them warm and the rolls toasty.
Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve them warm! These sliders are great on their own, or pair with a crudit platter for a perfect weeknight meal.

How to Serve This Recipe
These sliders are a big hit on their own, but I love to pair them with a fresh salad or some crispy sweet potato fries for a complete meal. You can even serve them as appetizers at your next gathering, everyone loves a good slider!
Storage
Leftovers keep really well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Reheating Instructions
When it’s time to enjoy the leftovers, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them if you’re in a hurry, but they won’t get that lovely toasted quality.
Freezer Friendly
Yes! You can freeze the prepared sliders before baking. Just wrap them tightly in foil and pop them in the freezer. They’ll keep well for about 2-3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, just thaw them in the fridge overnight and then bake them as normal.
