Oh my gosh! I have a bone-in turkey breast in the oven RIGHT NOW to use for sandwiches. How funny that you'd post this on the same day that I'm doing the same thing...

A great idea. I bet it did taste better than deli meat. I've tried to make turkey breast but it came out a little dry. Think i'll give it another try.

This is a great thing to do. Its what I have to avoid to avoid additives in deli meat.

And I swear the sandwich always tastes ten times better when you roast your meat yourself and save money at the same time.

Kris B- Either lightly brine your turkey breast before roasting or use a cooking thermometer and keep the cooking time to a minimum and go by the getting the correct internal temperature on the finished roast. Usually it's 160 degrees when the turkey is still in the oven. Then take the breast out and let it rest in the pan covered with foil for 5 or 10 minutes before craving.

Mum does this with leftover steak and roast beef. She cuts it up and uses it in sammiches.

Such a good idea. My fiance loves to make Turkey sandwiches for lunch - this could save us some money, and get rid of some of the preservatives that he is consuming. I just sent the article home, hopefully he is inspired!

I find that when cooking a chicken or turkey, I actually cook it upside down (the popup timer is on the bottom). The meat is sitting in the juice in the pan and thus comes out so much jucier.

I discovered this by accident while cooking T-day dinner but since everyone told me I had the juiciest turkey, I've been making it this way ever since.

Just make sure you really rinse out the cavity well if you are going to be doing this.

Since I have absolutely NO cooking intuition, what kind of spices or herbs are the best to rub on the turkey?

I do this with chicken all the time...I'll save the breasts and slice them really thin so I can use them on sandwiches.

#7 you should experiment to see which ones you like best, I usually use: salt, pepper, thyme, sage, rosemary, fresh lemon juice and olive oil, you can start with that until you get bored and then try other herbs, marinades and spice rubs. Good luck

That sounds like a great new healthy way of eating sandwiches. I'm definitely getting on board as I eat sandwiches ever day. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us.

Great idea. I do this with chicken and beef regularly.

You're so right! I love baking turkey breasts...and the packaged stuff is just yuck. Thanks for the ideas!

love cooking in bulk, this is another justification in sensibility.thanks for the nudge

I do this all the time. Tastes so much better too.

I purchased a rotisserie a few years ago and when I make a chicken, I generally make 2. Plenty for sandwiches, soup, wraps, salads. Chicken is so versatile you can take it from plain to Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean (with rinsed capers, cukes, teta, etc.), most any cuisine you prefer, even after it has been cooked. Great value for you money and waistline.

Great idea.. I do something similar, but I have never bought & made a turkey breast before actually. I recently noticed that Whole Foods had bone-in breast for $2.99 a pound if memory serves.

I love ErnestoH's comment about the rotisserie.. I think I'm going to look into that!
