I have a 55 gallon tank with a 10.5 inch bullhead catfish. Now recently I have gotten into turtles and I have always wanted one since I was a kid. I was looking into getting a male yellow bellied slider. Would I be able to keep the turtle and the catfish together without them killing each other?
 
IMO not in that size tank, the cat is already too big for it.

^Agreed

Not only is it not big enough for either (let alone both), depending on the size of the turtle, you may just be giving your catfish an expensive meal.

Also not to mention the slider will need a much bigger tank as well
