Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese over the bottom half of the sliced rolls.
  4. Layer cranberry sauce, turkey, and havarti cheese on top of the cream cheese.
  5. Place the top halves of the rolls back on and gently press down.
  6. Whisk together butter, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and salt in a small bowl.

  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes until heated through.
