Turkey Pastrami ala Cowgirl

fingerlickin' · Jan 15, 2013

I made some turkey pastrami this weekend using Cowgirl's recipe that I found over on her awesome blog. Thanks Jeanie, I hope you don't mind! It came out fantastic and I will definitely be doing it again soon.

Not the best pics here, I apologize.

I couldn't get the spices to stick too well with the breast right side up, so I smacked it up, flipped it, and rubbed it upside down. :-D Then I covered it with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

I smoked it a little hotter then she recommended because I already had the egg going at around 300* for a whole turkey I was doing for a friend. This all happened over Wicked Good and some hickory chunks, I pulled it at 170*.

We had turkey pastrami Reuben's for dinner.

Thanks again Jeanie!

Looks great, but i kind of expected to look a lot pinker - almost hammy. Wouldn't the cure do that, or am i crazy?

I'm no curing expert, but I don't think just the quick overnight cure would have that effect. The texture is definitely more firm than usual. More lunch meat like if you follow me. Give it a shot and see what you think. It's super easy. It also made great sandwiches for work this week.

Looks great!!

I have a breast in the freezer that I just fiqured out what to do with it. :thumb:

Some TQ in the cure would give it some color and possibly some hammy flavor but I'm not sure I want to fark with a good thing.
