The Trader Joe's Deli Meat You Should Never Leave The Store With - Tasting Table
Briefly

Trader Joe's offers a variety of packaged deli meats, but the reduced-sodium sliced roasted turkey breast is notably disappointing. It ranks last in a taste test of 12 deli meats due to its bland flavor and dry texture, which make it unsuitable for sandwiches or other recipes. The turkey is thinly sliced, exacerbating the issue, and lacks the necessary salt for seasoning. While there are better turkey options at Trader Joe's, including oven-roasted and smoked varieties, shoppers might be better served looking for deli meat from other brands, such as Dietz and Watson.
This sad turkey meat won't do sandwiches or any other recipe any favors.
The reduced-sodium sliced roasted turkey breast landed in last place because the taste and texture were as bland and forgettable as the meat's beige hue.
Salt is also an important seasoning agent to bring out the turkey's subtle savory tasting notes.
You might be better off purchasing deli turkey meat elsewhere using our ranking of the best packaged deli turkey brands.
