These Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders are the ultimate combination of creamy ranch dressing, savory turkey, smoky bacon, and gooey melted cheddar, all tucked inside buttery Hawaiian rolls. Perfect for parties, game nights, or even a cozy family dinner, these sliders are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Picture this: a tray of warm sliders being pulled out of the oven, the melted cheese stretching as you grab the first bite. The buttery tops are sprinkled with parsley and garlic, giving every bite a touch of indulgence. It’s quick, easy, and oh-so-satisfying. Let’s dive into how to make these cheesy little sandwiches at home.

Ingredients:

12 Hawaiian rolls (or slider buns)
1 lb sliced turkey breast (deli-style or cooked leftovers)
8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
8 slices cheddar cheese (or shredded cheddar)
½ cup ranch dressing
3 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried parsley (or fresh chopped parsley)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected (like a top sheet and bottom sheet).
Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
Spread ranch dressing evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
Layer sliced turkey evenly on top of the ranch-covered rolls.
Sprinkle cooked bacon pieces over the turkey.
Add slices (or shredded) cheddar cheese evenly across the bacon layer.
Place the top half of the rolls back on to form the sandwiches.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Use leftover roasted turkey from the holidays for an extra flavorful twist.

Make the butter topping ahead and refrigerate—it adds the perfect flavor boost!

Variations

History / Fun Facts
Sliders got their name from being so small and easy to eat that they practically “slide” down. They originated as mini burgers from White Castle in the 1920s, but today, the term “sliders” has expanded to include all kinds of mini sandwiches, from barbecue to breakfast versions. This Turkey Bacon Ranch version takes the classic comfort food and makes it perfect for today’s gatherings.
