Swiss cheese: This cheese melts smoothly over the turkey and offers a nutty, mild flavor that complements the rest.
Unsalted butter: A base for the flavorful seasoning butter — using unsalted lets you control the saltiness perfectly.
Dijon mustard: Adds a subtle tang that brightens up the richness from the butter and cheese.

Make It Your Way

One of my favorite things about this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe is how easy it is to personalize. You can switch up cheeses, add extra herbs, or experiment with different breads. I love making a batch and then tweaking bits each time depending on the occasion.

Variation: Sometimes I swap the Swiss cheese for provolone or sharp cheddar to give it a different kick. Last time, I added a few slices of avocado on top after baking for a creamy twist that my friends went nuts for.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe

Step 1: Prep Your Rolls and Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then grab a 9×13-inch casserole dish and line it with foil—this makes clean-up a breeze. Give the foil a quick spray with nonstick spray so the rolls won’t stick. Slice your 12 Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally all at once; you want to keep the tops and bottoms together so you can layer everything smoothly. Place the bottom halves into your pan, snug and ready for the fillings.

Step 2: Layer on Turkey and Swiss Cheese

Layer evenly with about ¾ pound of thin-sliced deli turkey, spreading it so every slider gets a good amount. Next, add a layer of the ¾ pound thin-sliced Swiss cheese on top — it’ll melt beautifully during baking, so don’t be shy.

Step 3: Top with the Rolls and Butter Mixture

Place the top halves of your rolls over the layered turkey and cheese. Now, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter either in the microwave or on the stove. Stir in ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard, ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and ½ tablespoon everything bagel seasoning. This butter mixture is key — brush it all over the tops of your rolls so they soak up all those savory flavors. Let them sit for 5 minutes before baking to really absorb it.

Step 4: Bake Until Melty and Golden

Cover the sliders with foil and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes—just enough to get everything warm and the cheese melted. For the last 5 minutes, remove the foil so the tops get beautifully golden and slightly crispy.

Top Tip

Having made these sliders multiple times, I’ve learned some handy tricks that really elevate your Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe. These tips help avoid common pitfalls and make sure you get them just right.

Brush Butter Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoned butter on top; it’s what gives the rolls that crave-worthy crust.
Keep Rolls Intact: Slice the Hawaiian rolls as a slab so you get evenly sized sliders that hold together well when baked.
Melt Cheese Slowly: Cover during baking to let the cheese melt slowly without drying out your sliders.
Let It Rest Before Serving: Allow sliders to cool for a few minutes after baking to set up so slices don’t fall apart.

How to Serve Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe

Garnishes

I usually keep garnishes simple—a few thin pickle slices add a nice crunch and tang that cuts through the rich butter and cheese. Sometimes I throw on a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery freshness that pairs perfectly.

Side Dishes

My go-to sides for these sliders are crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad. For casual parties, chips and a tangy coleslaw complement these sliders perfectly and keep things light.

Creative Ways to Present

When I want to impress, I serve these sliders on a wooden board lined with parchment, sprinkled with extra everything bagel seasoning around for visual appeal. For festive occasions, topping each slider with a tiny skewer holding an olive and cherry tomato adds a fun pop of color and makes them super easy to grab.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge, and they’re good for up to 3 days. To keep the bread from getting soggy, I place a paper towel on top before sealing—it helps soak up moisture.

Freezing

If I’m making sliders ahead for a big event, I’ll freeze them before baking. Wrap tightly in foil and pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as instructed for fresh-from-the-oven taste.

Reheating

To reheat, I cover the sliders loosely with foil and warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. This keeps the cheese melty and the rolls soft without drying anything out. A quick broil for a minute at the end crisps the tops beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use other types of cheese in this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe?

Absolutely! While Swiss cheese melts beautifully and pairs perfectly, you can swap it for provolone, mozzarella, or even sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile. Just make sure to use cheeses that melt well for that gooey slider effect.

Is there a way to make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! To make this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe dairy-free, substitute the Swiss cheese with a dairy-free melting cheese alternative and use a dairy-free butter substitute for the butter mixture. Everything bagel seasoning is typically dairy-free, but always check labels to be sure.

Can I prep these sliders in advance?

Definitely! You can assemble the sliders up to a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just brush the seasoned butter on top and bake as usual. This makes them perfect for easy entertaining.

How many sliders should I plan per person?

I usually suggest 1-2 sliders per person when serving as an appetizer. If these sliders are the main course, plan on 3 per person to make sure everyone has enough to enjoy. It’s always smart to make a few extra for hungry guests!
