What it is

It is typically sold pre-sliced and ready to eat, making it a convenient option for meals and snacks. The texture is generally tender and moist, characteristic of slow-smoked poultry.

To enjoy this smoked turkey breast, simply open the package and serve. It is excellent cold, straight from the refrigerator, for sandwiches, wraps, or as part of a charcuterie board.
