Thanks, this is a good tip and not the first time I’ve seen it, but despite being a pretty decent cook, meal prepping for the week has never been my thing. Maybe it’s time to turn a new leaf though.

I’m a sandwich fiend too, with tastes similar to yours. In the pursuit of ever-increasing dullness, I’ve been trying to get away from eating nitrates every single day, and damned if all the grocery store brands of lunch meat aren’t packed with ‘em. Even the ones that say “no nitrates added” have an asterisk where they explain that yes, they do have added nitrates, but they’re produced the natural way, by putting celery sticks in particle accelerators.

Costco has deli-sliced turkey that fits the bill, but the sandwich doesn’t come out the same. It’s a different sandwich, really.

I may have to give up on nitrate avoidance. One person can only be expected to do so much.
