Hillshire Farm Deli Select Ultra Thin Honey Roasted Turkey Breast

*Packaged in Glad Ware container

*99% fat free

I love turkey, and buying sliced turkey is the best way to have turkey available for when you want a sandwich. I have tried "flavored" turkey before but the standard flavor is smoked usually with hickory or mesquite. When I seen this Honey Roasted flavor I thought it sounded good.

This was the first time I have bought this brand of sliced sandwich meat. The main reason I did was because I had the "cheer" from Hillshire Farm's commercial stuck in my head (The cheer: "I say Hillshire, you say Farm" "Hillshire" "Farm" "Go Meat". I know it is silly but it stuck).

The slices were not super thin but I liked the thickness. I like the Glad Ware container is comes it. My one issue with that is, if they are going to give you such a big container (and charge that much) they should give you more turkey. There is a lot of wasted space in that container which leaves room for air and air is the enemy to freshness. I put the turkey in a sandwich baggie in side the container hoping that would keep it fresh however with the amount of turkey you get it was not around long enough to go bad.

The quality of the turkey was good, and that is saying a lot coming from me. Having grown up vegetarian, I am picking about the meat I eat. It is still somewhat nasty to me, so if it does not look, smell, feel (texture) right I will not eat it. There was not one piece of grit (or anything like that), you could visually inspect the slices and see that there was nothing in it. The color was nice (not too pink, I HATE pink sliced turkey). The edges were not tough but a different texture then the center of the slice.

The flavor was good and it makes a good sandwich, but not real honeyie though. I would like it to have more honey flavor.

I definitely want to try other Hillshire Farm products, now I wish I had signed up for the "Hillshire Farm HouseParty" (click here to read more about HouseParty).
