Make It Your Way

I often tweak this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe to fit the occasion—sometimes I swap turkey for chicken or add a slather of spicy mayo for more kick. The beauty is in the flexibility, so you can absolutely tailor it to your family's taste or dietary needs.

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

Step 1: Get the Rolls Ready

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch casserole dish with foil, then give the bottom a light spray with nonstick spray. Now, slice your Hawaiian rolls right in half—no need to pull them apart just yet. Placing the bottom half into the dish creates the perfect base to build on.

Step 2: Layer Turkey and Cheese

Next, layer the deli turkey evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Then go ahead and add your Swiss cheese slices on top—this is going to melt deliciously over the turkey while baking.

Step 3: Top Off the Sliders

Gently place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the cheese. Be careful not to shift the layers too much. Now it’s time to make that flavorful butter glaze that really brings these sliders to life.

Step 4: Make the Everything Bagel Butter

Melt the butter either in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and of course, the everything bagel seasoning. This special combo is what gives the sliders their signature zing. Once mixed, brush this butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. Let them rest about 5 minutes so they soak up as much flavor as possible.

Step 5: Bake Until Dreamy

Cover the pan with foil and bake for roughly 30 to 35 minutes. This lets the cheese melt perfectly and the sliders warm through completely. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes so the tops get beautifully golden and slightly crisp. Serve these warm for the best experience.

Top Tip

After making this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe several times, I’ve learned a few things that really make the difference between “good” and “awesome.” These tips help you nail it every time.

Butter Mixture Timing: Don’t skip letting the butter soak into the rolls after brushing—it’s a small wait that amps the flavor and gives that irresistible softness.
Foil Covering: Keeping the pan covered for most of the baking traps moisture so the sliders stay tender and melty without drying out.
Everything Bagel Seasoning Quality: Use a fresh, good-quality seasoning blend—stale seasonings lose their punch and texture, which dulls the final taste.
Assembly Care: Be gentle when layering ingredients so the sliders stay intact and look inviting when served.

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

Garnishes

I love adding a few crunchy pickle slices inside some of my sliders for tang and texture. Fresh arugula tossed inside the buns adds a peppery bite that contrasts nicely with the mellow Swiss cheese. If you want a pop of color, diced red onion or sweet bell pepper works well too.

Side Dishes

These sliders go beautifully with classic potato chips or a crisp garden salad to lighten things up. For parties, I like serving them alongside crispy oven-baked fries or a simple coleslaw. It creates a well-rounded, crowd-pleasing spread.

Creative Ways to Present

One of my favorite presentations for special occasions is arranging the sliders neatly on a wooden board with small ramekins of mustard, aioli, and pickles. Adding fresh herbs sprinkled on top adds a fancy touch without any extra fuss.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftovers, store the sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I recommend reheating them gently in the oven to keep that buttered top from getting soggy and to maintain the melty cheese texture.

Freezing

You can freeze these sliders after baking. Wrap securely in foil and place in a freezer bag for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven to bring back that freshly baked goodness.

Reheating

To reheat, I like popping them into a preheated 350°F oven for about 10–15 minutes, covered loosely with foil to prevent drying out. They heat evenly, and the cheese remains deliciously gooey.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of cheese for this Turkey Sliders with Swiss Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe?

What makes everything bagel seasoning so special in this recipe?

Everything bagel seasoning adds a wonderful combination of flavors—garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and salt—that gives these sliders a bakery-style, flavorful crust that elevates the sandwich with minimal effort.

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the sliders the day before and refrigerate them covered with foil. When you're ready, bake them as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed to ensure they’re heated through.

Classic potato chips, a crisp garden salad, oven-baked fries, or coleslaw make excellent sides that complement the rich, savory flavors of these sliders without overwhelming them.
