Notes
Instead of using plain cranberry sauce, you can make a simple cranberry BBQ sauce. I actually think we might like it even better than the cranberry sauce by itself! Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
2/3 cup cranberry sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it begins to bubble, stirring constantly. Spoon over the top of the turkey layer before baking the sliders.
If you don't have poppyseeds, don't worry! Just omit them, or you can substitute Everything Bagel seasoning in the butter mixture.
