INGREDIENTS

- ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Brush a baking dish with butter and set aside.

NOTES
- To Store. As long as the turkey wasn't left out for an extended period before being sealed in an airtight container, it can stay fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.
- To Reheat In Microwave. Microwave the turkey slices for about 30-60 seconds or until it's hot. An effective way to reheat the turkey is by steaming it. Place it in a microwave-safe container with a splash of water. Lightly cover the container with a paper towel, the container's microwave-safe lid, or even an inverted paper plate. Reheat, letting the water steam the turkey, ensuring it remains moist and delicious every time.
- To Reheat In Oven. If using an oven, reheat at a lower temperature (around 325°F or 163°C) to avoid overcooking the exterior while ensuring the inside is thoroughly heated.
