Classic Turkey And Swiss Sliders Recipe
These Turkey and Swiss sliders are a classic for a reason. They are warm, cheesy, and so simple to prepare for any gathering, big or small.
I find they disappear quickly whenever I make them, so you might want to double the batch!
Key Ingredients & Tips for Swiss Sliders
- Hawaiian Rolls: The slightly sweet flavor of these rolls really balances the turkey and Swiss cheese beautifully. Don’t skip them!
- Dijon Mustard: A thin layer of Dijon adds a great tangy taste without being overpowering. It brightens up the whole slider.
- Buttery Topping: Brushing the tops with seasoned melted butter before baking ensures they get wonderfully golden and extra flavorful.
What You Need for Turkey Swiss Sliders
- 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 lb sliced turkey breast (deli style)
- 8 oz sliced Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
⏱️ Time: Prep 15 mins | Cook 20 mins🍽️ Yields: 12 sliders
How to Make Turkey And Swiss Sliders
Step 1: Get Ready & Layer
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a serrated knife to carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the cut side of the bottom rolls.
Step 2: Build Your Sliders
Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the mustard, then top with the Swiss cheese slices. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer.
Step 3: Add Topping & Bake
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Pour and brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
📝 Final Note
These are best served warm, straight from the oven. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
Easy Turkey Cranberry Sliders for Parties

I love serving these as an appetizer or a light lunch because they are so full of flavor and simple to prepare.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Cranberry Sliders
- Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce: Using whole berry sauce adds a great texture and more intense fruity flavor compared to jellied varieties.
- Provolone Cheese: This cheese melts beautifully and has a mild, creamy taste that doesn’t overpower the cranberry and turkey combination.
- Poppy Seeds: A sprinkle of poppy seeds on the butter topping adds a nice visual touch and a subtle nutty crunch.
