Hickory Smoked Skin-On Turkey Breast
What it is

It is typically seasoned and ready to be heated and served. The smoking process imparts a distinct, savory aroma and taste characteristic of hickory wood.

To enjoy this turkey breast, you can simply heat it through. Place it in an oven at a moderate temperature until warmed, or slice it and gently reheat it in a skillet. It can also be served cold directly from the package for quick meals. The skin can be crisped up under a broiler if desired, or removed before slicing. Ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to unsmoked turkey breast, this product offers a deeper, more complex flavor profile due to the hickory smoking process. The skin-on preparation also contributes to a richer taste and juicier texture than skinless varieties.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the turkey breast tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality.
