Deli Turkey?
 

Is there a brand of deli turkey, or any deli meat really, that is Phase
1 appropriate? I really want to make a yummy sandwich with Rainbow's flatbread!

You can always just cook up some chicken or turkey and slice it for your sandwich!

Deli meats are usually cured with a bit of sugar or have some modified starch in them - any deli meat that has carbs is no good. Plus a deli meat is going to be quite a bit higher in sodium than meat you cooked yourself, which can cause water retention.

Great Value (Walmart brand) has a 97% fat free, 0 carb sliced smoked (not maple or black forest) ham that I love. The sodium is high, but it's my go-to meat in a pinch. It's the ONLY one I've found that fits the low fat/no carb meat in deli meats. The Great Value turkey and chicken all have carbs, which means additives.

Thanks, scorbett and leanne! :D

I finally found a 99% low sodium, fat free ham (it's listed on the Phase 1 sheet) that doesn't have sugar in the ingredients.

The brand is "Celebrity" and it was from Trader Joe's.

From time to time I use this Boar's Head No Salt Added Roasted Turkey.

It is delicious wrapped in lettuce leaves with mustard!

What is Rainbow flatbread?

Check the recipes from the rainbow thread.

Not sure if this is the specific one Zombie was talking about, but here's one link Artisan Flatbread

Yes, it is...... and it's SUPER TASTY!!

I'm not doing IP, but I've seen signs at Kroger for Boars Head. Does this fit your requirements:

Good luck!

Whoa, that looks good! :D

That's the one I use...it's delicious wrapped in big lettuce leaves with mustard. Sometimes it's just nice to have a "sandwich" :D

If you have a Trader Joes near you, they have a product that is called "just Turkey Breast" (or something like that :dizzy:) that is just fresh whole roasted turkey breast, sliced. Not cured, no additives. I love it, get it every time I'm there.

You might also look out for turkey tenderloin which is a bit less to deal with than a whole turkey breast. I marinate it than roast it at 375, and its delicious and super easy.

Because of this thread, I re-read the turkey label from Kirkland turkey I bought (Costco brand). The sugar is 0 but in the ingredients is brown sugar. I thought I found a good choice, guess not!
