Really Good Turkey Deli Slices

Maybe you saw my post about a really good sandwich. What made it so good was this Turkey Deli Slice I was trying. Well the turkey deli slice has been a hit at home and is now a regular (and worth a quick review)

It is called Veggie Turkey by Yves. The slices are quite good. They hold up well in a sandwich or even straight from the fridge. They taste great and texture is as meat-like as I prefer. Some mock meats can be salty but these are well balanced in that department. This is strictly turkey slice or turkey roll style. This is not in any way like turkey breast. (for turkey breast see Tofurkey[no review yet]). The slices are a tiny tiny bit slimy out of the package.

One downside is not about the product but rather the packaging. The plastic sealed slices are vacuum sealed and hard to open. Once opened, the slices are hard to separate without tearing. I often end up with a double-slice (that I cannot be bothered to separate) or a torn slice (bcz I was rushing).

This is fine product and lost of fun. It may not have a lot of WOW factor but it has been really good. For lite summer time lunch or picnic, these turkey slices make a nice sandwich.

A good sandwich

Today I am having a vegetarian Turkey Club wrap. The bread is a really neat low carb flat bread I get at Costco called "Roll Ups" from Damascus Bakery. I have Veggie Turkey from Yves and Smart Bacon from Light Life (read review). I also have ice berg lettuce, Kraft Fate Free Shredded Cheddar and Fat Free Blue Cheese dressing from Wish bone.

I wish I had a camera phone. I would post a picture of it.
