Homemade Turkey Pastrami on MAK #829 w/ PICS!
« Reply #-1 on: February 25, 2013, 09:46:04 PM »
Today I smoked 6 pounds of turkey breast that had been brined for 3 days in a spicy Pastrami brine.  Then it came out of the brine, was rinsed, patted dry and rubbed down with Uncle Louie's Pastrami Rub overnight in the frig.

Smoked at 240 on the upper rack of 829 which means it was probably around 225 on the second rack.  Burning BBQer's Delight Hickory, my go to pellet.  IT hits 155, wrap in foil and place in a microwave oven(don't turn it on) for a couple of hours and then into the frig to hang out overnight for the smoke to permeate and even out throughout the turkey breast.

Will slice in the next day or so.

Per your request.  No Unicorn Turkeys at my house.  I'm not real big on posting loads of pics because sooner or later you have seen butts, ribs, turkeys, chickens, even bacon but for you guys I will as this is a little different than some posts. ;)

First pic is a single piece of turkey pastrami breast.  All hand sliced.

Next, all of the turkey breast pieces hand sliced.

Final pic is of it all vacced, packed and ready to go in the freezer.


Thanks for looking guys.

Looks really good Larry
