There really is nothing better than a turkey sandwich for lunch. The only problem with today's deli meats is they are full of nitrate/nitrites, preservatives and sodium. Even with Applegate products, who boast on being preservative/nitrite/nitrate/gluten/hormone free, they are still full of sodium, only come in 7oz packages that cost almost $7 per pack, and it doesn't really taste that good. The turkey breast I found here was from Sprouts and cost only $10 for 2 lbs.
The best turkey sandwich really only comes once a year; leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches! They are hands down the BEST turkey sandwich around. Friends even made an episode about it (poor Ross). This inspired me to find a way to get fresh roasted turkey all year round.
This turkey breast could be sliced up and used for traditional deli type sandwiches (with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, etc) or you could whip up some Skinny Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and have that leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwich any time!
Ingredients:
2 lb boneless skinless turkey breast
olive oil
1 tsp each of any spices you like (could just do salt and pepper, add some paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne for a kick)
Directions:
1) Pre-heat oven to 350. Get a roasting pan out. Roll up some foil balls or a roasting rack and set on the pan.
2) Rub the turkey breast with a little bit of olive oil. Just enough to coat it. Sprinkle on the spices and seasonings of your choice. Place turkey on the foil balls or roasting rack.
3) Roast in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins, or until the center comes out to 165 degrees. Take out and cover with foil and let sit for about 20 mins.
4) Slice up and enjoy!
