Tips

  • Use an herb seasoning blend with garlic and onion for great flavor.
  • Be sure the meat thermometer does not touch the bone.
  • Divide turkey slices into 2- to 3-ounce servings, and refrigerate or freeze for sandwiches or a quick meal later.
  • Adjust portion size to match your meal plan if you need more or less protein.
