"Packaged pre-sliced turkey is typically a tasty, affordable and convenient option for lunch meat. However, not all packaged deli turkey is created equal. Tasting Table recently ranked 11 packaged deli turkey brands from worst to best, and Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh oven roasted turkey breast was surprisingly disappointing. While it wasn't the worst on the list (that ranking was reserved for Buddig, a low-quality deli turkey you should avoid at all costs) we ranked it in seventh place."
"When we evaluated its ingredients, we found dextrose and sugar, which explains why the turkey was overly sweet. While we appreciated the presentation of the sliced turkey, and the slices were the perfect size for sandwiches, we found the taste somewhat unnatural - almost chemical-flavored. That's why we included Oscar Mayer on our list of 10 packaged deli meats with the lowest quality ingredients."
"The product has a 4.3 rating out of 5, with customers offering mixed feedback about its taste, quality, and longevity. A recent five-star review from a customer stated, "Can't get enough of this good stuff. The only thing I use it for is to make sandwiches and it is good. My only complaint is that every now and then I run into a very small piece of gristle. But not often enough to put me off the product.""
Packaged pre-sliced turkey offers convenience and affordability, but quality varies across brands. Tasting Table ranked 11 packaged deli turkey brands and placed Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh oven roasted turkey breast seventh. Ingredient lists for the product include dextrose and sugar, contributing to an overly sweet flavor. Slices present well and suit sandwiches, yet the overall taste registers as somewhat unnatural and almost chemical-flavored. The product appears on a list of packaged deli meats with low-quality ingredients. Walmart reviews average 4.3 out of 5, with praise for sandwiches alongside complaints of bad smell, texture issues, and occasional gristle.
