Deli turkey

Deli Turkey is a type of processed turkey meat sliced into thin cuts, ideal for use in sandwiches, salads, or as part of cold and hot dishes.

In Hispanic America, deli turkey is also known as fiambre de pavo or pechuga de pavo en lonchas (sliced turkey breast), terms used in different countries to refer to this ready-to-eat or cook product. Its versatility and flavor make it an essential ingredient in quick and healthy recipes.
