Roast Turkey Lunch Meat

After a long day of sitting calling turkeys, one of my favorite meals to come back and eat is a big cold-cut sandwich. In this recipe I’ll be showing you how to take your turkey breast and turn it into some delicious, sliced lunch meat. The recipe is simple and can be cooked in a smoker, grill or even your oven.

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, glass bowl or Ziploc, add all ingredients and mix.
  2. Add turkey breast and place in refrigerator for 8-12 hours.
  3. Heat the smoker, grill or oven to 250 degrees (add 1 teaspoon liquid smoke if preferred). If using a smoker, I prefer oak or maple wood.
  4. Cook until internal temperature reaches 155-165 degrees, remove from heat.

  6. Grab your sandwich ingredients and start building.
