- •Cheese, Swiss
- •Butter(120g)
- •Mustard, Dijon(8g)

- •Everything bagel seasoning blend(23g)
Instructions
- 1Form the ground turkey into 6 thin patties, each sized to fit the Hawaiian sweet rolls, seasoning each side lightly with everything bagel seasoning. Cook the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until no longer pink in the center and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 2While the turkey cooks, melt the salted butter in a small bowl (microwave 30–45 seconds or stovetop over low heat), then whisk in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining everything bagel seasoning until fully combined.
- 3Slice each Hawaiian sweet roll in half lengthwise. Lightly toast the cut sides in the same skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side, until edges are golden brown.
- 4Assemble each slider: place the toasted bottom roll on a plate, add 1 cooked turkey patty, spread cranberry sauce over the turkey, layer a slice of Swiss cheese on top, then cap with the toasted top roll.
- 5Brush or drizzle the butter mixture generously over the tops and sides of all 6 assembled sliders, coating thoroughly.
- 6Return the sliders to the skillet (working in batches if needed) over medium heat, cover with a lid or foil, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts and the rolls are warmed through.
- 7Divide the sliders evenly into 6 meal prep containers while warm, allowing them to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
