I have started trying to make “real food” and ditch the over processed stuff so we can cut down on salt in our diets. I’m going to show you how to easily make your own deli meat in the slow cooker.We love to make sandwiches.

There are 1050 mg of sodium in 3 slices of deli turkey. That means you can only have 800 more mg for the entire day if you have that deli sandwich. That is crazy! Why not made a real turkey breast in your slow cooker, cut down on the sodium and have a better lunch?

We all know the best sandwich is right after thanksgiving, right? This recipe is so easy you can make one turkey breast a week and have a healthy sandwich at the ready. Even better, you cook it in your slow cooker, so you don’t have to babysit it.

The fun part is that you can play around with the herbs and citrus to make it a little different every week. It’s juicy and flavorful and with good bread and mayonnaise, it’s the perfect sandwich.

    I love this idea!! Looks delicious too! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
  2. Chicken stalk? I think you mean chicken stock. I would hate to have to go stalking chickens! I mean seriously have you ever tried catching one of those things?
    1. Ha Ha thanks Denis for pointing out my typo, yes it's stock. And yes I have tried catching one and it's not easy LOL.
      1. Glad you had luck catching chickens. I only get lucky that way when I hit the grocery store meat section. It usually helps when I wear a disguise, and look like a chicken. I get funny looks from people, but I get my chicken. They never see it coming! LOL As far as the typo goes, I pick those up so quickly when it is NOT my own writing, but when it is mine, I am oblivious to them! I LOVE your blog and am grateful for you being there with your great ideas. Thank you!

  5. Great post! I would never have thought to make my own deli turkey (and am scared about the sodium in the deli turkey at the store- yikes!). I'm definitely going to give this one a try!
