One of my most difficult things while trying to continue to follow the Whole30 lifestyle closely when not on round is finding affordable lunchmeat that has no added sugar (or crazy preservatives that make them taste yucky!). Note, I said affordable. There are some compliant options out there, but they are expensive, and for a family that used to daily subsist of the convenience of lunchmeat constantly in the fridge, difficult is putting it mildly.
Yes, I know that you can't have sandwiches. But even just a few slices with your salad, or when no on round a SWYPO bread-like substance, a lunchmeat is key.
I experimented the other day with a boneless turkey breast I purchased at our local grocery store.
It turned out pretty darned good! And I was able to slice it really thin! Thanks to my husband who bought us a really cool electric sharpener! :)
Whole30 Turkey Lunchmeat
2 lb Boneless/Skinless Turkey Breast
EVOO - about a Tbs.
Trader Joes 21-Seasoning Salute (Or your favorite compliant seasonings!)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place turkey breast in a shallow baking dish that allows air to flow around it.
Spread the olive oil over the surface of the turkey breast and sprinkle liberally with your seasonings.
Sear for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Cook 18 minutes per pound - or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads at least 165 degrees.
Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil (or lid, if you placed in a roasting pan that has a lid).
Allow to cool completely before attempting to slice thin.
ENJOY! :)
