What You Will ❤️ About Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders

Turkey Bacon Ranch Slider Ingredients
You’ve got super simple ingredients here for these delicious sliders. As the recipe says – you’ve got turkey, bacon and ranch! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Kings Hawaiian Rolls – I used the regular but the pretzel or buttery ones would be great!
- Ranch dressing – I make my own ranch dressing
- Deli Turkey Meat – I used Kroger Oven Roasted Thin Sliced and it was delicious!!!!
- Cooked Bacon – I’m a fan of cooking my own bacon so you can include that in your prep time.
- Cheddar cheese – If you use sliced vs shredded – add a couple minutes of bake time as it takes longer to melt.
- Butter – Salted butter here since we’re making a savory recipe
- Garlic – I’m lazy and use the jarred minced garlic
- Worcestershire sauce – one of my favorite sauces to use in so many recipes
- Ranch seasoning mix – Hidden Valley – I buy the big jar because I use it so much!
Recipe Variations
There’s so many ways you can take this recipe – here are a few ideas:
- Rolls – King’s Hawaiian has a bunch of varieties now – this would be great with the pretzel buns they came out with!
- Protein – you could easily swap out ham, roast beef or chicken. This is also a great use for leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken!
- Cheese – I think the cheddar is bold enough to match the bacon and ranch – but you could also use provolone, American, Swiss cheese or Colby Jack cheese!
- Dressing – you could add mayo – or swap out with Caesar dressing or even something exotic like a Green Goddess!
- Glaze – a lot of glazes add brown sugar and poppy seeds – I wanted to keep this a more savory flavor so I went with Worcestershire & garlic instead.
- Veggies – you could also add sliced tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms or pickles!
How to make Turkey Sliders
These sliders are perfect for a weeknight dinner or an appetizer – plus they are easy peasy to make – one pan – and layer it up! Here’s what you’ll do!
- Preheat oven to 350º & spray baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
- Slice slider buns in half (using a serrated knife) and place bottom half of buns in pan and pour 1/3 cup ranch dressing over buns
- Layer turkey slices, bacon and shredded cheese across all buns
- Pour remaining ranch dressing over cheese
- In a microwave safe small bowl or glass, place butter, garlic and Worcestershire sauce and microwave for 1 minute until butter is melted (cover bowl with press & seal to prevent splatter). Remove from microwave and stir together ingredients.
- Brush tops of the rolls with melted butter mixture (you don’t have to use it all – discard any remaining glaze) and sprinkle with ranch seasoning
- Place sliders in oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. Check the sandwiches at 12-15 minutes – and cover with aluminum foil so the tops don’t burn.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Yes – slices of cheddar cheese would work as well. I like the shredded because it melts quicker.
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the air fryer at 250º for 6 minutes.
