Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make the glaze: in a small bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon melted butter, 2 teaspoons honey, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- Slice the 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally to separate tops and bottoms. Place all 12 bottoms in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Evenly spread 3 cups shredded turkey (about 12 ounces) across the roll bottoms.
- Dollop and spread 1 cup cranberry sauce in an even layer over the turkey.
- Arrange the provolone over the cranberry layer: use the 6 slices (4 ounces) as-is or tear/cut each slice in half so the cheese covers all 12 sliders evenly.
- Place the roll tops back onto the assembled bottoms.
- Optional: using a knife, cut between each slider (cutting all the way through the rolls) so the glaze can seep between sandwiches.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the prepared glaze over the tops and sides of the rolls so they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning evenly over the glazed tops.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the sliders rest a few minutes before serving.
