12 ounce package slider rolls (such as sweet Hawaiian), sliced in half horizontally
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 cups freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese divided
3 cups finely diced cooked turkey breast
1 cup cranberry sauce
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the bottom halves of the rolls in the dish. Spread with the mayonnaise.
Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the mayo, followed by the chopped turkey. Then spoon the cranberry sauce over the top of the turkey layer; spread to an even layer as best you can.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Place the roll tops on the cheese.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley. Pour the mixture over the sliders.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sliders are warmed through.
Serve hot. Enjoy!

I recommend shredding your Monterey Jack from a block rather than pre-shredded bag cheese—it melts more evenly and gives you that irresistible gooey layer between the rolls.
Stuff the sliders with whatever you have! I've used stuffing and mashed potatoes before, too.
