How To Make Deli Style Lunchmeat Food

DELI-STYLE ROAST TURKEY FOR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees (230 degrees C).
• Pat turkey breast with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid and place into a baking dish just big enough to fit it. Use the tip of a sharp small knife to poke the skin of the turkey breast all over. Drizzle over olive oil and use tongs to rub; flip turkey breast over a few times, or until all surfaces are coated with the oil. You can also use a brush. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
• While turkey rests, mix salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and paprika together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Use tongs to grab the turkey breast with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Finish with the skin side facing up.
• Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the baking dish.
• Place prepared turkey breast into the center of the oven. Immediately lower the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast until a probe thermometer stuck into center of the thickest part of the breast reads 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let cool before wrapping. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 8 hours, or overnight. Once meat is cold, slice thinly and serve.

HOW TO MAKE DELI-STYLE LUNCHMEAT

Steps:

• * This needs to be done as soon as the meat is finished cooking, while still rather hot.
• Take the whole hunk of meat and wrap it tightly in the cheese cloth (or gauze), wrapping first in one direction, then in the other direction.
• Keep the cloth in place with the rubber bands, doubling the bands if needed to hold it firmly. Place several bands down the length of the meat, then again crosswise.
• Place on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
• Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice very thin on a good meat slicer.
• Enjoy!
