All natural, low sodium tips

Since lunch meat was no longer an option with it's super high sodium and "crap"(this is what I've come to call all of the bad additives) content. Lunch needed a makeover. I've since started roasting a turkey breast to use for lunch meat. Not just any turkey breast, it has to be all natural with NO added solution.

Roasted Turkey Breast

Preheat over to 350*
Rinse breast and place in roasting pan
Top (liberally) with oregano, basil, paprika, rosemary, garlic & onion powder
Roast uncovered for 1-1 1/2 hours
I use a meat thermometer so that the breast doesn't become overcooked and dry, 180 degrees!

Remove from oven and cover the breast tightly with foil and let rest for 20 minutes. This helps keep all the yummy juices inside. Discard skin and carve up for sandwiches. Place in a air tight container in the fridge.

A full price turkey breast costs between $8 and $10. I think that's pretty comparable to the price of lunch meat when you buy a pound of this and a pound of that and you get just as much meat.
