Every Sunday afternoon I put 3-4 chicken breast in the slow cooker with either buffalo or barbecue sauce. 4-4.5 hours later I shred it. That gets me through the week with sandwiches and quesadillas.

Some grocery stores have roasts and turkey breasts in the deli they will slice and sell you. I’ve seen them at Whole Foods, Rouses, even Albertsons. The roast beef is pretty good, but like a lot of posters said, the turkey tends to be dry.

You really didn't think that the deli turkey that you're getting is being sliced off of a 30lb turkey breast, did you?
When did you see a 30lb turkey breast?
The deli turkey is coming off a large chunk of turkey breast. I still dont get your question I guess.
What's the difference between sliced deli turkey meat from the grocer or from Jersey Mikes versus cooking a turkey at home and slicing the meat at home with a deli slicer?
Is that the point of this thread?

No difference.

Potentially a significant difference, if the turkey wasn't injected/organic/free range.

quote:My guess is that cooking a whole turkey breast and slicing it yourself would be the best option. You're eating the white meat from one bird, with minimal processing vs turkey rolls (white and dark meat from several birds processed together, bound with some kind of meat glue and injected with a shite ton of chemicals to preserve moisture, season, prevent spoilage). Processed turkey roll is basically a giant turkey nugget.

But hey, at Jersey Mike's, the giant turkey nugget is 'sliced right in front of you!!!!!!!'. It's a Jersey thing.

Most deli turkey breasts (processed that is shaped like an oval) are around 10-20 pounds.
Processors take the whole turkey breast, inject them with a solution, put them in a tumbler machine to extract proteins to the surface, then stuff the breasts into nets. The way they get them to the 10-20 pound weights is by machines that stuff the turkey breast into the net and then cut the meat off when the target weight is reached. So one oval deli turkey in the store may be 2-4 breast combined.
Same thing goes with ham. They can either be made from one piece of boneless ham meat, or multiple pieces of boneless ham meat.
There is a second way seen a lot with ham, not so much with turkey…. Chopped and formed. The best way to think of this is like sausage. Pieces of meat are chopped into pieces and then formed in a net or a mold to create the shape. The rectangular loaf style jams on the deli are always chopped and formed. The advantage of this is to get the loaf shape but more importantly, to be able to use meat scraps, miscut pieces, etc. these are cheaper products, both in quality and price.
Roast beef is one piece of roast. Or it is chopped and formed.

That's what I thought...
So just go to the store and buy a piece of raw meat, cook it how you want and cut it up.
Did this really need a discussion to figure out?

Just to put this in the mix you can use a ham maker/ham press to make some sliceable logs of protein even things like shrimp. Use a souse vide cooker and be spot on temp wise.

Whole Foods deli counter. They probably have minimally processed packaged options too.
And Applegate brand is widely available.

H-E-B roasts four or five different meats right behind the deli counter for fresh slicing. I’m sure there’s a solution injected, but it’s not really any different then the hydralyte I put in my water anyway.

If you don't mind spending a little more coin get prosciutto. It is air cured and all they add is salt.

The packaged meats they sell, has the least amount of additives. They look to be better than most in comparison.

Trader Joe’s has turkey, chicken etc in the produce area that fits op request.
Posted on 9/13/24 at 8:47 am to prplhze2000
I baked a chicken a couple days ago and make chicken salad with the leftovers and it came out great. Baked chicken is a no-brainer to make and an inexpensive meal with leftover potential.
