turkey ham

About

Turkey ham "is a ready-to-eat, processed meat made from cooked or cured turkey meat, water and other ingredients such as binders" and contains no pork. The taste and texture closely resemble those of pork-based ham.

Retail

Finding the once-popular turkey ham, especially free of nitrates and nitrites (NN-free), can be difficult. Even those stores which carry brands whose product lines include turkey ham (e.g. Wellshire Farms) often do not carry the same maker's turkey ham products and cannot even special-order them.

NN-free

Online:

• Wellshire Farms

Further Investigation

• Amazon.com seems to be the only place where many of these products can be found, anymore:
  • Deen Halal Turkey Ham 7 Lb
  • Carolina Deli Turkey Ham, 8 Pound - 2 per case.
  • Foustman's Salami Turkey San Francisco Style Artisanal, Nitrate-Free, Naturally Cured, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Pork, Turkey Deli Meat, 8 Oz Sticks: might be peppery... also, not sure if dried or not
• Jennie-O All Natural appears to have NNF turkey ham, but only for institutional ordering. (What are their requirements for that?)

Dead Ends

• Applegate: they used to have NNF turkey ham products, but as of 2020-05-06 they do not seem to have any.
