Turkey Cranberry Dinner Rolls
Nonstick cooking spray
1 package of Wonder Dinner Rolls
2 cups cooked diced turkey
1 cup cranberry sauce or relish
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon dried minced onion
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon parsley
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil and apply nonstick spray.
Remove the entire slab of rolls from the package and slice it in half lengthwise to separate the top from the bottom.
Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish and layer with turkey, cranberry sauce, and Swiss cheese before adding the top half of the rolls.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and mix in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, and pepper to taste. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the rolls.
Cover with foil and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese before slicing into individual rolls.
Thanksgiving Stuffing
