turkey breast substitute
for raw.

Raw applications for turkey breast effectively don't exist for food-safety reasons — poultry carries Salmonella and Campylobacter risk that survives below 165F internal. The only listed sub here is tofu (1:1 lb), which works as a raw-style cold deli alternative once pressed and marinated. Hold pressed tofu under 41F, slice within 4 hours of plating, and dress aggressively (3 tbsp soy plus 1 tbsp vinegar per lb) to compensate for tofu's neutrality and to mimic the salt-protein register turkey would deliver.
