Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Hawaiian rolls, split
  • 8 oz sliced deli turkey (smoked or oven-roasted)
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Thinly sliced red onion
  • Optional: Pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a serrated bread knife, slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping them together. Place the bottom half in a large baking dish.
  3. Spread half the ranch dressing (about 1/4 cup) evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
  4. Layer turkey slices evenly across the rolls, overlapping slightly.
  5. Add Swiss cheese slices over the turkey, cutting as needed to fit.
  6. Sprinkle chopped bacon over the cheese layer.
  7. If using, scatter shredded cheddar, red onion, or jalapeños over the bacon.
  8. Drizzle remaining ranch dressing evenly over the layers and spread into the corners.
  9. Place the top half of the rolls over the layered filling and press down gently.
  10. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with ranch seasoning and chopped parsley. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  11. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and bake another 5-7 minutes, until tops are golden and slightly crisp.
  13. Let sliders cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing. Use a spatula to lift out each slider.

Notes

Don’t over-saturate with ranch to avoid soggy rolls. Layer cheese directly on turkey for best melt. Use foil for the first part of baking to prevent burning. These sliders are highly adaptable—swap meats, cheeses, or add veggies as desired. For gluten-free, use GF rolls. Leftovers reheat best in the oven.
