Delicious Turkey and Swiss Sliders Recipe
These turkey and Swiss sliders are a classic for good reason. They are quick to make and disappear fast, whether for lunch or a casual gathering.
Key Ingredients & Slider Making Tips
- Slider Buns: Use Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls for the best texture. They hold up well when baked.
- Swiss Cheese: Freshly sliced Swiss cheese melts beautifully and adds a nutty flavor. You can also use pre-sliced.
- Butter Topping: A simple melted butter and Worcestershire sauce topping gives these sliders a wonderful browned crust and extra taste.
What You Need for Turkey Swiss Sliders
- 12 slider buns (e.g., Hawaiian rolls)
- 1 lb sliced deli turkey
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
- Pinch of garlic powder
⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 sliders
How to Make Your Turkey and Swiss Sliders
Step 1: Prepare Your Sliders Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully slice the entire block of slider buns horizontally through the middle, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: Layer the Fillings
Layer the turkey slices evenly over the bottom buns. Place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the turkey. Then, add the top halves of the slider buns.
Step 3: Make the Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the slider buns.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Slice and serve warm.
📝 Final Note
These sliders are best served warm right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently.
