What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced turkey breast, a common deli meat. It is typically made from whole turkey breasts that have been cooked and then sliced for convenience. The slices are usually uniform in thickness, making them easy to use in various dishes. This product is a popular choice for quick meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
Deli turkey breast is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways, from simple sandwiches to more elaborate preparations.

Open the package and separate the slices. For sandwiches, layer them between bread or rolls with your favorite condiments and toppings.
