Peppered Turkey
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the refrigerated deli or packaged lunchmeat aisle—pre-sliced peppered turkey for quick sandwiches, packed lunches, or picnic spreads. It gives a practical, slightly nostalgic lunchtime vibe: familiar, convenient, and lean. The short ingredient list and uniform texture from commercial slicing point to a processed deli product (added water and salt for juiciness and preservation) rather than a minimally prepared whole roast.
