These warm, cheesy Turkey Cranberry Sliders are one of the easiest and tastiest ways to use up Thanksgiving leftovers. With layers of tender turkey, savory stuffing, and cranberry sauce all baked inside soft slider rolls, they deliver that comforting sweet and savory bite we all crave.
I was inspired to make these sliders after putting together some of my leftover ingredients from Thanksgiving dinner. The flavors remind me of my Leftover Thanksgiving Casserole, but in sandwich form. They make an easy dinner, game day snack, or holiday brunch board.
