Deli style turkey breast

[Cammy]

Does anyone make their own deli style turkey breast lunch meat at home?

I have been thinking of making the heavily processed style of lunch meat that you see in a grocery store deli. I know that manufactured turkey is "massaged" and tumbled to extract proteins before being pressed or vacuumed into a shape for smoking and curing. Have done this with red meat to make brats, sausage and other red meat products but want to expand into poultry.

Could the same processes be used on turkey? Wondering if anyone has tried it or knows of a resource for information.

My buddy would emulsify then put into a wrap of some sort boil it then it slice it up. Shouldn’t be that difficult. If it doesn’t work let me know I’ll give him a call and get you more info.

I just use butcher twine and truss my turkey breast’s before I smoke them. Slice thin and eat as a sandwich. I brine before and baste with honey while I’m smoking.

I’m smoking this one tonight. I’m basting it with maple syrup. It’s end destination is going to be turkey bacon ranch sliders.
