Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The occasional small piece of turkey deli meat as a treat is unlikely to do any harm. But I would still monitor for any signs of GI upset (like vomiting or diarrhea) and stop giving the turkey if any GI signs occur. I would also suggest only giving small amounts of the deli meat especially if your dog is a smaller dog. Giving too much could end up causing diarrhea, vomiting or in severe cases, pancreatitis.
