3. Carefully cut rolls in half. Layer the bottom halves first with turkey and then with the cream cheese mixture (put the turkey on first and then the cream cheese mixture, so the rolls don’t get soggy). Place a generous dollop of cranberry sauce over the top and evenly distribute the cheese between the sandwiches.

4. Place the top of the rollback on each sandwich and brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle the top with sea salt and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown (if the tops brown too quickly, carefully place a sheet of foil over the baking dish).
5. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped thyme and serve.
