it looks very thin for a Ham .

 

I am guessing it is sliced and is just a partial piece of a larger ham.  The slices look rather large to me, but the picture perspective is a bit hard to judge.

It's not sliced, which will be interesting as I (obviously) don't own a commercial meat slicer, so getting it cut nice and thin might be a challenge

it's that time of year :  Turkey , both Fz  ( $ 0.49 / lb ) and fresh  ( $ 0.98 / lb )  @ Stop&Shop.

 

Oddly , more expensive  ( $ 0.59 / lb , Fz ) at MarketBasket.

 

I used to fill the freezer w 22 pounders , way back when   ie 2 , but wrassleing w 22 lbs is a thing of the past.

 

and back then : no IDS, nor iPot.    I managed 2   14 + turks.   savings of $ 17.50 / bird , w a cost of $ 7.10 /bird.

 

fortunately , my new refrigerator runs quite cold , and is not full of #@$)%&@#&+&   at the moment

 

Ive found I can get the work done in stages , keeping the results quite cold in the refrig over a few days .

 

Sooo  : Turkey Breast  'logs' wrapped in bacon , IDS'd  then SV .  Dark meat thighs  IDS // SV

 

carcass  IDS // oven roasted   =>  iPot'd for stock.

 

and im in no hurry to get started .

@rotuts, For sure, at 0.49/lb, you're netting around 7 lbs of meat from turkeys that size (not to mention stock from the carcass), it's still an outrageous bargain.
