Ever say fuck it, I'm not roasting a fucking turkey, and just get one of these bad boys and carve off some thick-ass slices from it, and serve it with potatoes, gravy, etc? How bad could it be?
Every time I post a picture like this I make SURE my reflection is not visible in the shot. One of these days I am going to forget and everyone is going to make fun of me for being a lardass.That might be the last time I ever post on 4chin.
>>21692904I really don’t care who can see me lol
Also I wonder if the store would charge you the full per pound rate or is it different for the whole thing still in the package.
>>21692843Costco sells these 4-5lb turkey breasts year round.They are genuinely good and could easily replace cooking a whole turkey if you wanted.I still smoke a turkey on thanksgiving, but when im craving thanksgiving food in like the summer ill buy one and make a few fixings.
>>21692843Wouldn’t it be too salty?
>>21692843Ive made ham soup, scalloped potatoes and ham, etc etc. I tell the deli to chop a 1" thick chunk of ham for me, and its never been a problem. They gladly just throw it on the counter and use a knife. Im sure they would do it with turkey too, but would be really expensive.>>21692911Stores arent going to ever give you a discount for that.
>>21692843idk, I don't see the point. it's not like cooking a turkey is difficult.
>>21692969>Stores arent going to ever give you a discount for thatI managed to stack several deli discounts on top of each other and got around 5lbs of sliced ham for, like, $11 or some shit back in February. If you know what you're doing, you can make the system work for you rather than against. Like, I was just looking through my past purchases and it doesn't tell me how in the fuck I did it but I managed to pay 17¢ for $28.13 worth of groceries on June 1st. I pull these types of supermarket heists all the time and I was hoping the purchase record would say how it broke it down but it doesn't. It also seems to apply the discounts evenly on all items so it was probably a $25 off coupon coupled with other discounts and things, idfk>1¢ maruchan yakisoba trays>2.58lb ham for 5¢>Nutritrain bar 8pk for 3¢Etc etc etc
>>21692843>How bad could it be?Your thread is pretty shit bro.
>>21692973The way people talk about it here you’d think it was arcane wizardry
>>21692931Based, it has a nice flavor and is yummy with some mashed taters and gravy
>>21693101you should never take anything said here seriously, it's either posted by a retard or someone being retarded ironically
>>21692843I don't think this would work? Deli turkey is a whole different beast. It's all salty and processed and it has a different texture. I dunno maybe if you sliced it just the right thickness you could get away with it somehow, and soaked it in gravy so it was harder to notice.
>>21692931That’s just sandwich meat
>>21692843I've never roasted a turkey.
>>21693962and so are any leftovers for thanksgiving and regular sunday roasts and shit.
>>21692931do you plate it like you made it all pretty n such
>>21693962Its a solid chunk of roasted turkey, and it tastes as if you threw a butterball in the oven.With mashed potatoes and gravy you cant actually tell a difference.I agree, deli turkey all has this sort of deli meat flavor profile. It doesnt taste like real turkey at all.But the costco turkey breast isnt like that.The last few years at thanksgiving ive seen other brands push raw and fully cooked chunks of turkey breast as an alternative to a full turkey. Im sure they dont have that distinct deli meat flavor profile either.>>21694058Too much effort, I just cut 1/2" slices and shove it into my gullet
>>21694328aren't all deli meats just smashed up into a paste and formed into what they cut up in front of you
>>21694343I didnt think about that, but yeah you have to be right. A turkey breast is only a couple of pounds and your giant deli meat chunk they slice off is 20pounds.You always think of ham being pureed, but I never really thought about the poultryThe turkey paste and glue is what gives it all that flavor!
>>21694343Not all but most. Two different chains of local supermarkets in my area have house-roasted beef and turkey at the deli. Considering the tiny size of the turkey breast meat, it's likely very real turkey but I've never ordered it. The beef I can vouch for. 100% real. While I always thought it was the real deal, I only know for sure because they got a new deli bitch one day, she didn't know which side to slice because it was a new hunk of house-roasted beef (which isn't wrapped), and she started slicing along the grain before the manager said nah bitch, nah and she turned the beef hunk 90° to slice across the grain instead. Along = tough bullshit. Across = tender numnums.Even if the turkey breast were, like, 87lbs or some shit, it could simply be several breasts meat-glued together. The process is pretty unremarkable. Dump breasts into vat, add transglutaminase powder, mix about then place into a form to allow the glue to set. That's it. It's still real meat and relatively unprocessed at that
>>21692843Smoking a turkey is the only way to do it right
>>21694409enjoy your carcinogens
>>21692843Bad enough to BOOGY LAND
>>21692978nowhere I shop even has discounts or coupons anymore. the last time I saw a coupon was probably 10 years ago.
>>21694541Thank you, I will.They taste so good and make any hunk of meat better
>>21694625I use paper coupons at Arbys
>>21694625Not even digitals? I use both digital and paper coupons. Paper coupons are indeed rare as fuck but i still find them from time to time. Most recently got 20 pots of what I thought was yogurt but turned out to be "cultured cream" entirely for free using them. On sale for $1.25 each coupled with a 25¢ off unlimited use digital store coupon and twenty $1 off paper coupons /on a clip strip right next to the yogurts in the dairy section/. They were literally giving them away with that setup and I was perfectly happy to take as many as I could. If it's free, it's for me.
>>21692843I ordered turkey at a BBQ restaurant once and they served me this dog shit. It's not that it was inedible it was just extremely disappointing.
>>21692904How do you not take that as a reason to eat healthier and exercise until you aren't a lardass anymore?
>>21692843You're not allowed to buy the whole loaf. Only stores can buy the whole thing. It's to prevent consumers from selling their own sliced meat and undercutting the markets.
>>21694991That's wrong, you fucking retard.
>>21694924My interest in eating outweighs the sensibilities of randoms who I dont care about
>>21695125It's true. Only wholesalers can buy the whole loaf. Regular consumers are not allowed to.
>>21695153It's bullshit. I have bought a whole loaf directly from the manufacturer on two occasions. You're either a liar or a fat, sweaty mongoloid dribbling tard drool all over your bib.
>>21695151You obviously do care if you're worried about comments they're going to make about you
>>21694991Gordon food services (GFS) sells those jawns whole. and it's like a regular grocery store.
>>21695266>or a fat, sweaty mongoloid dribbling tard drool all over your bib.You're the one who bought a whole loaf from the manufacturer, you fat fuck. Why didn't you buy it from the supermarket deli?
>>21694825You’ve got me in the verge of downloading the Safeway app
>>21695683Don't bother. The only benefits the app has over accessing through the website directly are scanning items while so you know the price (and it tells you if there are coupons available, I think) and if you search for an item through it, it tells you which aisle it's supposed to be in.I just use the website because the fucking signs in the store tell you what aisles things are in and prices are written on the fucking shelves
>>21692843I use the gizzards and organs for stuffing. Bones and reduced fat for broth and gravy. Nothing like a whole Turkey just a spatchcock it
