Questions about Turkey slices
Are turkey slices ready to eat?
Most packaged turkey slices are cooked and can be eaten cold. If you are unsure whether they are cooked, check the product description before serving.
How do you heat turkey slices without drying them out?
Warm them briefly in a covered pan over a low heat, with a splash of stock or water; take them off as soon as they are hot. For a sandwich, add them near the end so they do not toughen.
How long do turkey slices last after opening?
Keep them covered in the fridge and use them within the time stated on the pack; once opened, use them promptly. If they have been left at room temperature for more than two hours, discard them.
Can you freeze turkey slices?
Yes. Freeze them in a tightly sealed bag, with baking paper between portions so you can separate them easily. Defrost in the fridge and use soon after thawing.
What goes well with turkey slices in a sandwich?
Try turkey with cranberry sauce and lettuce, or with mustard, cheese and sliced tomato. For a lighter filling, pair it with avocado and cucumber.
Can you use turkey slices instead of ham?
Yes, in sandwiches, toasties and wraps; turkey is usually milder, so mustard, pickle or a punchy cheese can add savouriness. Add it to a hot dish near the end, as it is already cooked.
Are turkey slices high in protein?
Yes: a typical 100 g portion provides 23 g of protein. A few slices can make a substantial sandwich filling, though slice size differs.
Are turkey slices high in salt?
They can be: 100 g provides 590 mg of sodium. Since the meat is already seasoned, taste before adding salt to a sandwich or cooked dish.
