turkey pastrami at home?

[Oak Smoke]

I had a really good turkey pastrami sandwich yesterday. It never occurred to me before, but is turkey pastrami something I can make at home?

[Potkettleblack]

absolutely:
Here's a recipe that uses Sous Vide:

But has enough that you could modify the AR pastrami process without sous vide to work.

Thank you, I'll try this soon.

Absolutely you can. I have done so numerous time. I use boneless, skinless turkey breasts and then cure them for about 2-3 days before desalinating, coating with a pastrami rub and then smoking to 155-160 degrees. You could also finish in a low oven if you don't want smoke flavor.

I have also tried via sous vide and did not like the results as much as the ones I smoked or finished in a low oven.

I've done meatheads beef pastrami several times, we like it. I'll try this way also.

Oak Smoke Here is a link to the last one I made before thanksgiving. Looks like I actually cured it for 4 days.

That looks good! I'm going to try smoking my first one. As far as the cure is it the same as beef?

What about duck pastrami? Anyone ever make it?

I have made goose pastrami. It was delicious! I bet duck would be good as well.
