Protein Boxes are one of my favorite on-the-go lunches. When Jennie-O sent these Premium Portions Oven Roasted Turkey Breasts, I knew they would make a great addition to a Deli Style Protein Box. These are perfect for making ahead and grabbing for a protein packed snack or lunch.

Jennie-O Premium Portions Oven Roasted Turkey Breast are seasoned, fully-cooked and ready to slice. I diced mine into 6 ounce portions.

I then paired it with some of my favorite snacks. I arranged them in these reusable meal prep containers and popped them in the fridge. Easy peasy!
