These turkey sliders on Hawaiian rolls are perfect for a quick and easy dinner, lunch, party appetizer, or game day snack. My family keeps requesting these, and they are just as tasty the next day. I usually make double so I can pack a couple in my lunch box.

The soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls are layered with turkey, melted cheese, and a mustard mixture, then topped with a buttery seasoning. These are easy to prepare and quick to disappear.

I made this and it was delicious. I took it to a brunch. I am making it again tomorrow! It is super easy.

Ingredients

Before you head to the recipe card for exact measurements, here’s a quick look at what you’ll be using.

Sweet Hawaiian Rolls - These soft and sweet rolls are the perfect size for turkey sliders and balance the slightly salty deli turkey and cheese.
Thin Deli Turkey - Deli turkey is a lean deli meat that works well with this recipe. Whether using oven-roasted, Cajun, or mesquite-smoked, feel free to use your favorite brand.
Swiss Cheese - Add the cheesy goodness, and it is like a glue that holds the sliders together after they have been baked.
Mayo - Mixes well with the Dijon mustard, adding a creamy layer to the turkey sliders on Hawaiian rolls.
Dijon Mustard - Adds a tang to the sliders without overpowering them. Dijon has a much deeper flavor than yellow mustard without being overwhelming.
Melted Butter - The base for the turkey sliders' topping. Butter also keeps the tops soft while baking.
Worcestershire Sauce - This adds a subtle depth and extra flavor to the butter mixture.
Everything But The Bagel Seasoning - This rounds out the savory butter topping for the sliders. All the seasonings are in one bottle, so you don't need to dig around or buy several different seasonings.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Step 2

Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, taking care not to separate the rolls.

Step 3

Line the baking dish with parchment paper. Place the bottom halves of the rolls inside the baking dish.

Step 4

Mix the mayo and Dijon mustard and spread evenly on the bottom rolls.

Step 5

Layer two slices of turkey individually on each roll.

Step 6

Layer the sliced cheese over the turkey.

Step 7

In a small saucepan (or bowl), mix the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.

Step 8

Brush the butter mixture onto the top of the sliders.

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Pull or slice into individual pieces and enjoy!

Tips

Use a baking dish instead of a baking sheet. The bottom gets too brown too fast on a sheet pan.
Do not pull the rolls apart before baking; it is much easier to work with the Hawaiian rolls while they are together.
Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes after baking to give the cheese a chance to set and to make cutting them easier.

Variations

Swap out the deli turkey for deli ham or even your Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.
Instead of Swiss cheese, use Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, cheddar, or your favorite sliced cheese.

Storage

Store in an airtight container for up to four days.
Freeze in an airtight container for up to six months, thaw in the refrigerator.

Reheating

Oven (Preferred Method) - Preheat oven to 325 F and wrap the turkey sliders loosely in foil. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
Microwave - Heat on 30 second intervals, until hot. This method will leave the turkey sliders softer than the oven method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my sliders soggy?

There may have been too much butter mixture spread on top of the rolls or too much mustard and mayo mixture.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the sliders as instructed, but do not prepare the butter mixture yet. Cover and refrigerate the sliders for up to 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, prepare the butter mixture and spread on top of the rolls. Bake as directed.
