Supermarket Cooked Turkey
4 Answers
What is the difference between the cooked turkey available at the deli-counter at Tescos and Sainsburys, apart from the price? The latter being about double. I`m told that `cos I eat of lot of it, being quick to make in pitta bread, I`m not doing my health any good because it`s `processed`. Anybody got any ideas please?

Vegetables are the main source of nitrate in the diet and contribute to 70 to 90 per cent of the total nitrate intake. Green leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, naturally contain higher levels of nitrate than other foods.
Cooking food is processing it. Look at the label and see what is added. You can buy cooked meats with very little additives.
As you eat a lot, consider buying a turkey or turkey crown, cooking it and freezing slices in suitable portions. It would probably be cheaper. :)
