DELI-STYLE ROAST TURKEY FOR SANDWICHES
I'm excited to be sharing just how simple and easy it is to roast and slice your own turkey breast for sandwiches, which might not seem like something worth doing-until you actually do it. And no, enjoying fresh turkey sandwiches once a year after Thanksgiving is not enough.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees (230 degrees C).
- Pat turkey breast with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid and place into a baking dish just big enough to fit it. Use the tip of a sharp small knife to poke the skin of the turkey breast all over. Drizzle over olive oil and use tongs to rub; flip turkey breast over a few times, or until all surfaces are coated with the oil. You can also use a brush. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
- While turkey rests, mix salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and paprika together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Use tongs to grab the turkey breast with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Finish with the skin side facing up.
- Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place prepared turkey breast into the center of the oven. Immediately lower the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast until a probe thermometer stuck into center of the thickest part of the breast reads 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Let cool before wrapping. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 8 hours, or overnight. Once meat is cold, slice thinly and serve.

ROASTED TURKEY SANDWICH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Put the turkey in a roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Rub 1/4 pound of the softened butter under the skin, then insert the cilantro and thyme sprigs, being careful not to break the skin. Rub the remaining butter on the outside of the skin and then sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the oven to a cutting board and let rest for 30 minutes. Carve the turkey into slices. Toast the bread and build the sandwiches using mayonnaise, turkey, sliced tomatoes and pea greens.

Tips:
- Use a fresh turkey: Fresh turkey will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can add herbs and spices to create a more flavorful brine.
- Roast the turkey at a low temperature: Roasting the turkey at a low temperature helps to prevent it from drying out. The ideal temperature for roasting turkey is 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: Letting the turkey rest before carving helps to keep the juices in the meat. Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Deli-style roast turkey is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used for sandwiches, salads, and other dishes. By following these tips, you can make a perfect deli-style roast turkey that your family and friends will love.
