Types & forms
Beef bologna
Buy a clearly labeled, fully cooked beef product, either sliced or in a piece to slice yourself.
What to look for when buying
- In Türkiye, look for dana salam and check the meat species, processing and preparation instructions.
- In the US, look for fully cooked beef bologna rather than dry salami. Packet sizes and slice thickness vary; use the recipe amount.
Prepare & cook
- Follow the package preparation directions. Cut into thin strips for a hot sandwich; do not assume smoking alone proves a product is fully cooked.
Store it well
- Keep refrigerated as directed on the package and follow its use-by and after-opening instructions.
