what to do with wafer thin turkey ham?

Options
Hi All

Got a bargain over the coop the other night a big 750g pack of turkey thin wafer ham reduced for £2 odd to 10p - brought it with all good intentions to freeze, but realised i already have a pack in tehre and now have no idea what to do with this.

It needs using asap - i brought it saturday, it 'technically' went off sunday so i need to really use it tomorrow if i can. Im plannign on havign an omelette tonight with some in but need ideas for the rest please.

Have the basics in - plain flour, self raising flour, eggs and other bits and bobs. Ideas please!!! (btw bf wont eat quiche)
Time to find me again

    Give it to a pet.

    Processed meat, full of additives like that is no good no matter how cheap it is.

    slice it into ribbons and add to pasta with a sauce, either tomato based or a carbonara type

    slice in squares and top pizza with it?

    Not very helpfull Dan1979 :confused:


    We sometimes have it mixed with pasta, fried onion, veg and have loads of grated cheese on top. Or do it with fried onion and courgette with pasta in a cheesy sauce as a bake.

    You could use some chopped up with veg or cheese as a filling for something like a sausage roll.

    Add to a potato salad, with cherry toms?

    am sure i saw a recipe once where you roll out pastry and spread tomato chutney or whatever, then some grated cheese then lay the ham on top, roll up like a swiss roll and cut in slices and lay on a baking tray and bake, you could leave out the cheese i suppose if you didnt have any

    As others have mentioned savoury pinwheels are hard to beat. What about using it in a quiche?

    Sammy, I'm afraid I'm a bit picky about meat that is past its BB date. If it's technically 'off' as of Sunday I would exercise caution.

    Haven't seen you around recently. Are you getting on OK?

    Put ham in food processor or blender with a good dollop of pesto. Delicious as a stuffing for hollowed out baked potatoes, tomatoes, or - more sophisticated: artichoke bottoms.

    But quite true - might look, smell and even taste (a bit) like ham, but it's not.
