"For time immemorial, the humble turkey sandwich has graced lunchboxes, work bags, cafeterias, and kitchens around the world. The simple yet delicious turkey sandwich is convenient to make, and with the right bread and toppings, it satisfies even the pickiest of eaters. While sandwich making has become easier with pre-sliced turkey, it sometimes has a wet, slimy texture, or too much added sodium. To solve this problem, just slice your own deli meat at home. We love Costco's Kirkland Signature Oven Browned Turkey Breast for this exact purpose."
"At around $22 per breast, or $5.66 per pound, Kirkland Signature's Oven Browned Turkey Breast is one of the best deli meats to buy at Costco. It's more affordable than many pre-sliced varieties, which are upwards of $7.99 per pound, and it's perfectly cooked, seasoned, and packaged for freshness. To use it for sandwiches, you'll need to cut it pretty thin, which is where a mandolin slicer comes in handy. While it's an easy trick to slice your own deli-style meats at home, a sharp chef's knife or handheld meat slicer can work just as well."
"Customers have found this trick makes about a week's worth of lunch meat. But if you're hoping to stretch it a little longer, store half the slices in a vacuum-sealed bag in the freezer, which can last up to three months. In other words, if you're a daily sandwich eater, you'll be well-stocked."
"Of course, other packaged deli turkey brands could work in lieu of this hack. But we highly recommend trying Costco's meat first, since it's fresh and mostly preservative-, antibiotic-, and fat-free. Beyond turkey, our favorites include Kirkland Signature's Applewood Smoked Master Carve Half Ham, at $24 or $4.53 per pound, and the Smoked Pulled Pork Rubbed With Seasonings, at $15.88 per container."
Turkey sandwiches are convenient and satisfying when bread and toppings are chosen well, but pre-sliced deli turkey can sometimes turn wet or slimy and may include too much sodium. Buying Kirkland Signature Oven Browned Turkey Breast at Costco provides a more affordable option, with pricing around $22 per breast and $5.66 per pound. The meat is described as perfectly cooked, seasoned, and packaged for freshness. For sandwich use, it should be sliced thin, and a mandolin slicer is recommended, though a sharp chef’s knife or handheld slicer can work. Sliced portions can last about a week, and half can be vacuum-sealed and frozen for up to three months. Other Costco meats suggested include Kirkland Signature Applewood Smoked Master Carve Half Ham and Smoked Pulled Pork Rubbed With Seasonings.
