Between eating tuna, chicken breasts, and.. well, stuff I shouldn't be eating I eat Turkey sandwiches. I normally buy Carl Buddig Honey-roasted premium lean deli cut turkey slices and use a little French's honey mustard on Nature's Own Healthline light honey wheat bread.
Is this turkey a 'processed meat'? When I hear that term I normally think of hot dogs, or baloney.
When I went to the deli to have some turkey cut it came from a big 'ball-o-turkey' so it seems to be the same stuff, its not like it was cut off the bird.
Here are the links:

** Note, after looking them up I just realized that manufactures don't seem to want to display all of their nutritional info on the web..!
Thanks for your help!

Can you list the ingredients for the meat? I can't seem to find any ingredients listed for the meat on the site.

I work in a deli and about 95% of our stuff is processed to some extent. They just do it so that you can get a good slice out of it. If the slices are all the same size/shape there is a good chance that it is at least somewhat processed.

I think the thing to worry about with lunch meat is the sodium level and addition of nitrates. These are not health additions. I think Jenny O makes Nitrate free lunch meat. I don't have it at my grocery, but you might where you are.

Thanks for the deli insight ecle5c and I'll look for Jenny O brands or brands with less/no nitrate.
