To use, simply open the package and separate the slices. You can also arrange the slices on a platter for a simple appetizer, perhaps with some cheese and crackers. For a lighter option, scatter the turkey over a fresh green salad. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a satisfying snack between meals. No further cooking is required.
