In my humble opinion, there’s no better appetizer than a baked slider , and these Hawaiian roll turkey sliders are my absolute favorite sliders of all time! I stuff soft Hawaiian rolls with deli turkey and melty Swiss cheese then smother them in a buttery topping made with mustard and everything bagel seasoning. These turkey and cheese sliders are so easy to put together– perfect for parties, game day, movie night… whenever!
On game day, I want something easy since I have a lot of mouths to feed. Using just 7 readymade ingredients from the grocery store, these Hawaiian roll turkey and cheese sliders are ready to eat in less than an hour. My savory everything bagel butter topping is what really sets these sliders apart from the rest!
What’s in This Turkey Sliders Recipe?
- Hawaiian Rolls : The perfect slightly sweet complement to these salty turkey and cheese sliders.
- Deli Turkey: The main source of protein in these sliders, it provides a nice salty flavor. I prefer thin-sliced, but go for thicker if that’s what you like.
- Swiss Cheese: Adds a creamy, cheesy element to the sliders and helps hold them together. Again, I like to go for thin-sliced here.
- Butter: Unsalted butter forms the base of our tasty topping. It helps everything stick to the soldiers and adds extra moisture and flavor.
- Mustard: A little bit of tangy Dijon mustard helps to balance out all the savory flavors in these sliders.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a tangy, salty, and umami flavor to the topping.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning : Adds a bit of crunch and delicious savory flavor!
Tips for Success
- You can toast the buns before adding any toppings to help seal out moisture, but I found that the deli turkey did a pretty good job of sealing the bottom bun off from becoming soggy.
- Be sure to cover the sliders before baking with foil, so that the tops don’t burn. You can remove the foil in the last 5 minutes to crisp them up.
- 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. You can double or triple the recipe to feed a big crowd.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover turkey sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
As an appetizer, these turkey and cheese sliders are second to none, but they also make for an easy dinner! I like to serve them up with loaded mashed potato casserole , baked sweet potato fries , potato salad , or macaroni salad !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
