Turkey ham is a processed meat product made primarily from cooked or cured turkey meat, water, and seasonings that is shaped and flavored to resemble traditional ham. It is a leaner, lower-fat alternative to pork ham and contains no actual ham or pork, though some brands may include pork protein. The product is typically sold pre-sliced and can be eaten cold or heated.
