Exactly why I posted this, Janet. Pressed turkey is crap. May as
well add some pressed ham, cheese, jam and serve it between two waffles.

Pressed turkey makes me think of the frozen entrees my mom bought in the
1970's. The brand was Freezer Queen. (Her fondness for quick fix when
I was a teen is why I nicknamed my mom the "freezer queen". She
*really* didn't like to cook. She took as many shortcuts as she could.)

This turkey and gravy entree was thinly sliced pressed turkey slices
drowned in questionable, goopy gravy. Back then the sliced turkey was
in perfect rounds. It looked like cheap heated up lunch meat to me.

The description of this Dataw lunch special using pressed turkey
certainly doesn't evoke any fond memories.
