File comment: As a component of the austerity plan, we've been getting boneless turkey breasts and making a dinner out of them and slicing the remains for sandwiches (healthier, I think, and cheaper than packaged cold-cuts). We end up with enough slices for quite a few sandwiches. Also, after cooking some of slices with the enclosed gravy, we've been enjoying hot, juicy po-boys.
Here's a photo of our down-home meal the other night. Baked sweet potatoes and a Southern Living recipe for Crowder Pea Succotash (Mike used canned green peas). Turkey.jpg [ 78.45 KiB | Viewed 1468 times ]
That's a great idea. David is paying about $5 a pound for his sandwich turkey (he gets the ovenroasted stuff at WD). I won't touch the stuff. What's the price on those breasts that you roast yourself? Maybe that's an idea we can adopt.

I bought one last week at Rouse's for $8.50 or so. It was an off brand. I think they're 3 pounds (including the gravy packet) and we eat less than a third as a meal. That leaves about 2 pounds for slicing (there's not much loss in cooking) so it is a much better deal. However, this week we had a Butterball which cost close to $10.00 but the quality was much better. Either way it's better bargain than $5.00 per pound.

We buy those little turkey breasts often and have found that Jennie-O brand tastes more like real on-the-bone turkey than any other brand. Other places may have them, but we've found them at Sam's and Wally World. There are different kinds -- plain, smoked with brown sugar glaze packet, cracked pepper, tomato basil, etc. Really, really good. Sort of expensive, but again, no waste at all.

Oh yeah, that's a good looking turkey po'boy. Mainly, I've seen them with cold turkey (and maybe not turkey at that).
Yeah, Mike and I were saying while eating it that it's a shame no places that we know of serve hot juicy turkey po-boys. I'd think that this would appeal to the health-conscious crowd.
