Leftover Thanksgiving Sliders
These leftover Thanksgiving sliders are warm, a little messy, and full of flavor. They use turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and cranberry sauce in one easy sandwich.

Would you like to save this recipe?
After Thanksgiving day, my fridge is always packed with bits of everything. These leftover Thanksgiving sliders use all the best food in one easy to make sandwich.
The texture is great because you get tender turkey, a layer of stuffing, and soft potatoes that hold everything together.
They taste like a traditional turkey sandwich but with more flavor and a touch of sweetness thanks to the sweet Hawaiian rolls.
I love easy recipes that make cleanup simple, so I make an entire batch all at once on a baking sheet lined with parchment. After they’re done, just throw away the parchment paper and cleanup is done!

How to Make Thanksgiving Sliders
Here’s a quick overview explaining how I make our sliders recipe. The full list of ingredients and instructions is further down the page.
Start by reheating the potatoes, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy. Keep the heat low-medium so the ingredients don’t dry out.
Next, place the bottom rolls in a baking dish or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread a light layer of mashed potatoes across the bottom halves.


Add a slice of turkey, then a layer of stuffing. Spoon on the cranberry sauce, and add a drizzle of gravy. Set the top rolls over the filling.
Serve them warm. They’re a fun way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers and snack through all the football games the next day.


Turkey Slider Variations
- Make Thanksgiving ham sliders using leftover ham instead of turkey.
- If you’re running low on roast turkey, use deli turkey instead.
- Use Hawaiian rolls, brioche, bakery dinner rolls, or soft sandwich bread.
- Add cheddar, swiss, provolone, or a mix of cheeses for a melty cheese layer.
Can you add a glaze to these turkey sliders?
If you want a glaze, melt butter in a small bowl. Stir in dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, a little brown sugar, and some poppy seeds.
Brush the butter mixture on the tops of the rolls. Warm them in the oven until everything is heated through.

Storage
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the microwave until warm.
