1 (12-count) package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls see note 1

1/2 cup mayo

Butter

7 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in remaining ingredients listed under “Butter.”
Using a serrated bread knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping individual rolls attached (see note 1). Spread 1/4 cup mayo on each cut side of rolls. Place the bottom half of rolls in prepared pan.
Layer in the following order: 6 cheese slices, turkey, cranberry sauce, and 6 remaining cheese slices. Do not add the top slab of rolls yet. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and place top half of the rolls onto the sliders. Generously pour and brush butter mixture on the top and sides. It's fine if some pools at bottom of pan; this will make the base of the rolls buttery and crispy! Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve hot, cutting into individual sliders.

Notes

Note 1: Keep the rolls intact and slice them in half horizontally so they open like a book.

Storage: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Wrap each slider tightly in foil, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm.
