What it is
This is a package of pre-cooked, thinly sliced turkey breast. The turkey has been cured and then smoked using hickory wood, which imparts a distinct smoky flavor and aroma. It is typically made from whole turkey breasts that are processed and sliced for convenience. The smoking process is a traditional method of preserving and flavoring meat. This product is ready to eat straight from the package.
