Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders | Valerie’s Kitchen

Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders are so easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes! These savory turkey sliders are loaded with thick-sliced ​​bacon and blue cheese-ranch sauce.

I knew right away the first time I made these Easy Turkey Deli Sliders that I was onto something. Boy, was I right. It’s hard to go wrong with this short but flavorful ingredient list.

Turkey Bacon Sliders are perfect for a light lunch or dinner or really, any time of the day or night.

When my guys were in high school, I used to make batches of recipes like this and freezer-friendly Beef and Bean Burritos to keep on hand during the summer months. I would have a quiet house and the next moment there would be a bunch of hungry teenagers looking for food. These roving bands of adolescent boys could appear at any time.

And here’s something you may or may not know about teenage boys. They are always hungry. It really has very little to do with when they last ate, a fact that never ceased to amaze me. As they walked towards the pantry late that day, I would say “Don’t eat now, it will ruin your appetite for dinner!”. They just laugh, knowingly, like I’m off my rocker.

There seems to be no such thing as destroying a teenage boy’s appetite.

Ingredient notes

• Outdoor salad dressing – Your favorite ranch dressing in a bottle. easy! Or mix your own with a ranch seasoning packet.
• blue cheese – crumbled blue cheese is a great flavor addition to ranch and bacon! I like to use a milder gorgonzola cheese for these sliders.
• Slider rolls – Instead of the small Hawaiian rolls that have to be sliced ​​in the middle, I like to use slider rolls that come pre-sliced ​​and are just a little bit bigger. It’s easier and they create slightly more meaningful sliders.
• Deli turkey meat – Thinly sliced ​​turkey from the deli counter. You can also use leftover turkey from a holiday dinner, sliced ​​as thin as possible.
• Bacon – Thick sliced ​​bacon makes a big impact. See below for instructions on how to cook bacon in the oven.
• Coating – Melted butter and also poppy seeds or sesame seeds add a little interest to the top of the buns.

How to make Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders

Before assembling the sliders, add the ranch dressing and blue cheese crumbs to a small bowl and mix to combine.

1. Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a large baking dish and top with turkey.
2. Tear the pieces of bacon in half and place on top of the turkey, crosswise (1 slice per sandwich).
3. Top each slider with a spoonful of the blue cheese ranch dressing.

Save the remaining blue cheese ranch dressing to serve with the sliders for dipping!

1. Cover the sliders on top of the buns and brush them with a little melted butter.
2. Sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top. Cover the baking tray with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
