    Overhead shot of the ingredients needed to make turkey bacon ranch sliders, including 12 Kings Hawaiian rolls, a package of Applegate organic turkey, melted butter, crushed garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ranch seasoning, sliced pickles, ranch dressing and crispy bacon.

    Ingredients

    • Hawaiian rolls: I recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls.
    • Turkey: I like using Applegate's sliced turkey but you can use you favorite brand. You could also use leftover roast turkey which is great after Thanksgiving.
    • Ranch dressing: Use your favorite brand.
    • Ranch seasoning
    • Bacon: I recommend cooking it until very crispy so it doesn't get soggy in the sandwich.
    • Pickles: You can omit these if you're not a pickle fan but I think they add a lovely tanginess to the dish.
    • Sliced Colby Jack cheese: I like using Colby Jack but you could also use cheddar or Swiss.
    • Butter
    Unbaked turkey and cheese sliders topped with melted butter and seasonings in a blue and beige pan.

    How to cook crispy bacon in the oven.

    In my opinion the best way to cook the bacon in this recipe is roasting it in the oven. Simply place it on a wire rack on a baking sheet and cook at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. *Note* You may need to add an additional 5 minutes to get it extra crispy if the bacon is thick cut.

    If you don't have a wire rack simply line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Recipe FAQs

    Does this recipe reheat well?

    Yes! We love meal prepping this for lunches. The best way to reheat it is either in the air fryer or in the oven covered with foil on a low setting around 325 . If you microwave it they tend to get a little soggy.

    Can I use chicken instead of turkey?

    Absolutely! This recipe works great with turkey or chicken, or a combination of both.

    Can these Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders be doubled to feed a crowd?

    Absolutely! This is a great recipe to make for a crowd because it is so easy to double. If available, Kings makes 18 packs and even 24 packs of their Hawaiian rolls to make it extra simple.
