Prepare the Oven and Buns:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully slice the slider buns or Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected at the bottom.
Lay the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish.
Assemble the Sliders:
Evenly spread the stuffing over the bottom half of the rolls, followed by a layer of turkey.
Combine the cranberry sauce with 1.5 teaspoons of Dijon mustard and spread over the turkey.
Place the top half of the rolls back on top.
Prepare the Topping:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, the remaining 1.5 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced dried onion, and poppy seeds.
Drizzle this butter mixture over the assembled sliders, ensuring even coverage.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the sliders are thoroughly warmed and the tops turn golden brown.
Serve:
Enjoy these warm, slicing into individual sliders as needed.
