What it is
This is a pre-cooked, thinly sliced smoked turkey breast. It is made from whole muscle turkey breast that has been cured and smoked. The smoking process imparts a distinct flavor and aroma to the meat. It is typically found in the deli section of grocery stores. The slices are ready to eat straight from the package.

You can use this smoked turkey breast directly from the package for sandwiches, wraps, or to add to salads. For a warm dish, it can be gently heated in a pan or microwave, though it is already fully cooked. It is also excellent as part of a charcuterie or cheese board.
