Variations on Turkey and Cheese Sliders

While Swiss and turkey are a match made in flavor heaven, you can certainly have fun by playing around with different ingredients. You could add pickled or fresh jalapeños to spice things up, throw in some bacon for an extra savory hit, or spread on some marinara sauce for an Italian twist.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover turkey sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.

How to Freeze

Freeze turkey sliders in individual portions in Ziplock bags or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Serving Suggestions

What is the difference between a slider and a burger?

A slider is a much smaller (usually 3- or 4-bite) burger. It can also contain other types of meat, such as sliced deli meats.

How many sliders per person?

I usually recommend 1-2 sliders per person as an appetizer or 3 sliders per person as a meal.

Do you cover sliders when baking?

Yes, cover these sliders for the majority of the baking time to keep them from drying out. Uncover in the last 5 minutes or so to crisp up the tops.

How do I keep my bottom slider from getting soggy?

You can toast the buns before adding any toppings to help seal out moisture, but the deli turkey should do a pretty good job of sealing the bottom bun off.

Can you make these ahead of time?

These Turkey Sliders can be assembled up to 4 hours before baking. Store them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.

How to Make Turkey Sliders Step by Step

Slice the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch casserole dish with foil and spray the bottom with nonstick spray. Without pulling the rolls apart, slice a package of 12 Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared casserole dish.

Layer the Sliders: Layer ¾ pound of thin-sliced deli turkey onto the rolls, and then layer on ¾ pound of thin-sliced Swiss cheese. Place the top half of the rolls onto the cheese.

Make the Butter Topping: Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop. Once melted, stir in ½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard, ½ tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and ½ tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning.

A whisk is being used to stir a turkey sliders mixture in a jar.

Brush the Sliders: Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls. Let the rolls sit for 5 minutes to soak up some of the butter.
