Turkey pastrami sandwich

I can’t believe in all my years of grilling and smoking that it’s taken me this long to make turkey pastrami! My turkey pastrami journey began when I first made duck pastrami in an attempt to figure out what to do with all this duck my husband, who is an avid duck hunter, brings home during duck season.

And just like that, when I thought duck season was finally over and I might have a reprieve from what I call “bird brain” AKA, my husband’s obsession with duck hunting where he thinks about nothing but birds ALL THE TIME, turkey season starts.

And hence I discovered Turkey Pastrami and this delicious Turkey Pastrami recipe!

And so the cycle begins again. When you are married to a hunter, it seems there is always a season for something!

And that’s how I ended up with the idea to make (wild) turkey pastrami.
