turkey  is not so popular here  it apears in the stores for christmas and only as a whole turkey .

i got from a butcher turkey breast and decided to smoke it as pastrami.

first i brine it with 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of salt, cumin, hot pepper, black pepper and garlic in 1 gallon of water

This morning after 14 hours  i  removed them from the brine, dry the turkey and prepare it for smoking . i use the same rub

black pepper, coriander ,garlic powder.but the basis is 3 different way .

one (The small)with evoo

the second with mustard

and one with Silan (date honey).

all of them i wrapped in a net before rubing it

i use this systems for pancetta and fatties.

  Yes i was planing  keep in the freezer for a few packs but my daughters Had a different idea. so it is finished
 
 
Awesome! Awesome! I love those nets you have.
  Thanks
 


Looks delish. Had deli turkey sandwich last nite. No comparison to that stuff I'm sure Ahron. Does it have a pastrami flavor? I notice you didn't use any kind of cure.
  Thanks. no it got a smoked chicken flavor but more meaty and vary juicy. it was only 14 hours in salt and sugar i did not think it needed cure#1
