Peppered Turkey
What You Should Know
You'd spot this pre-sliced peppered turkey in the refrigerated deli or packaged meat aisle — an easy grab for sandwiches, lunchboxes, or a simple weeknight charcuterie. Its simple, savory and slightly nostalgic vibe pairs with a moist, tender texture from cooking and slicing; the short ingredient list (turkey, water, salt, vinegar, pepper) and salt-based preservation point to a processed product rather than an ultra-formulation, and the sodium level is notably high.
