Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and to ensure the sliders come out effortlessly.

Step 2: Prepare the Rolls
Without separating the Hawaiian rolls, slice them horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Add the Turkey
Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. You can use deli turkey or, for an even richer taste, substitute leftover roasted turkey from a holiday meal.

Step 4: Spread Cranberry Sauce
Evenly spread 1 cup of cranberry sauce over the turkey layer. Use either jellied or whole berry cranberry sauce, depending on your preference.

Step 5: Layer the Cheese
Place 6 slices of Havarti or Provolone cheese on top of the cranberry sauce, covering the entire area to ensure each slider gets a gooey, cheesy bite. These cheeses are ideal as they melt beautifully, but feel free to substitute with other mild, creamy cheeses like Swiss or Monterey Jack.

Step 6: Top with Rolls
Place the top half of the rolls back over the cheese, pressing down gently to compact the layers.

Step 7: Make the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced dried onion, poppy seeds, and fresh chives. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients. This herbed butter mixture adds an incredible depth of flavor and creates a golden, crispy finish.

Step 8: Brush the Topping
Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, ensuring even coverage. This step is crucial for getting that irresistible, buttery crust.

Step 9: Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. This step warms the turkey, melts the cheese, and allows the flavors to meld. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the tops of the rolls brown slightly, creating a toasty finish.

Step 10: Serve Warm
Once the tops are golden brown, remove the sliders from the oven. Serve them warm to experience the full cheesy, savory, and slightly sweet flavor combination.
