What do we find when we deconstruct deli meat?

Turkey, ham, bologna, or other deli meat that's perfectly round and found in the case or behind the counter are made from multiple pieces of meat restructured to look like one whole piece.

And what about additives, nitrites, and nitrates?

If you look on the label, you’re going to see something that says “no nitrites or nitrates added.” You’ll usually still see a note that says, “except for those naturally occurring in sea salt and celery powder." Celery powder does have naturally occurring nitrites that can carry the same risk. Make sure to have those in moderation! Watch for other additives as well. Read the label and avoid fillers, food starch, gluten, and sugar.

Substituting meat for plant-based proteins as the star of weeknight dinners and make-ahead lunches is a healthy and delicious way to try your hand at a new diet. The healthiest meat substitutes can be hearty veggies or legumes themselves, but they may be products made from soy, wheat gluten, nuts, vegetables, legumes, or a combination of them all. If you're new to trying faux meats or packaged meat substitutes, you'll need to keep in mind that all vary in how closely they resemble meat in flavors, textures, and certainly appearance. Just because a meat substitute might be shaped into burgers, nuggets, or sausages to mimic meat products we know and love, doesn't necessarily mean their flavor profile will stand up to their meat counterparts. Additionally, not all meat substitutes are automatically vegan; some will have traces of eggs or other dairy, so be sure to always peek at nutrition labels before you start cooking. And of course, you have to remember that just because something is meatless, if doesn't mean it's automatically good for you. "I'm definitely a fan of plant-based meals, and it's great to cut down on your consumption of red meat, but take a close look at what you're substituting it with. Some of these meat substitutes are over-processed, loaded with saturated fat, and contain excessive amounts of sodium," says Good Housekeeping Institute Registered Dietitian Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN. With that in mind, step out of your comfort zone and try adding one of these best meat substitutes into your rotation.
