Turkey was on sale $0.99# so we grabbed 3, I let one defrost for a day in the fridge so I could take the breast off.Using Pops low salt brine without any sugar added pickling spice.

It taste a lot like pastrami I guess texture makes it seem different,that plus the color doesn't look the same. Thanks for the Like I appreciate it

Looks great. I need to try this. Why no sugar?

Adam When I made my first Pastrami from a brisket I did it that way,I think I remembered seeing some else do it,so I gave it a try it was good.This being my first time making a Turkey Pastrami from scratch I went that way.
