Tips and Tricks

• Don’t forget to preheat your oven to 350°F before you start assembling your sliders.
• Also, covering your 9×13 baking pan with foil and spraying it with cooking spray will save you cleaning time and help in easily removing the sliders once baked.
• If your cranberry sauce is too thick and not easily spreadable, warming it for a few seconds in the microwave will make it easier to spread over the turkey.
