🍁 DELI MEAT SERIES PT. 4: HOMEMADE MAPLE TURKEY

Stop buying maple deli turkey—you can make this homemade deli-style turkey breast with just 3 simple seasonings!

Maple sugar gives the turkey that slightly sweet maple flavor while onion and salt keep it savory. And the secret to those beautiful, thin deli slices? Chill it overnight before slicing.

SAVE this one for your next sandwich 👇

3-Ingredient Maple Deli Turkey

🦃 2 turkey breasts
🍁 2 tbsp maple sugar
🧅 1 tbsp onion powder
🧂 1 tbsp kosher salt

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Pat the turkey breasts completely dry with paper towels.
2. Combine the maple sugar, onion powder and kosher salt.
3. Generously coat the turkey on all sides, pressing the maple seasoning into the meat.
4. Place each seasoned turkey breast on parchment paper and wrap it up.
5. Bake at 375°F for approximately 60–75 minutes, or until the thickest part of the turkey reaches 165°F.
6. Let the turkey cool while still wrapped, then refrigerate overnight. Don’t skip this part—the overnight chill is what helps you get those beautiful deli-style slices.
7. The next day, unwrap and slice the maple turkey as thinly as possible.

Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, meal prep, or an easy high-protein snack.
