Questions about Turkey pastrami
What is turkey pastrami made from?
It is turkey meat cured in a seasoned brine, then coated with spices such as black pepper and coriander and usually smoked or cooked. It borrows the bold seasoning and deli-style preparation of beef pastrami but uses turkey instead.
Do you need to cook turkey pastrami before eating it?
Usually not: sliced turkey pastrami is sold ready to eat. For a hot sandwich, warm the slices in a frying pan for a minute or two, or briefly in the microwave, until steaming.
How do you make a good turkey pastrami sandwich?
Layer it with mustard and pickles in rye bread, then toast the sandwich in a pan until the bread is crisp and the filling is hot. Sliced cheese is a popular addition; add it while the sandwich is warming so it melts.
How long does turkey pastrami keep once opened?
Keep it covered in the fridge and follow the use-by date and storage directions on the pack. Use clean hands or tongs to take slices, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
Can you freeze turkey pastrami?
Yes. Separate the slices with baking paper, seal them in an airtight freezer bag and freeze; thaw them in the fridge and use promptly. The texture may be a little less tender after thawing.
How much protein is in a typical serving of turkey pastrami?
A typical serving is about 57 g, or a few slices, and provides 9.3 g of protein. The same serving contains 640 mg of sodium, so its savoury, cured flavour can make it taste quite salty.
How does turkey pastrami compare with beef pastrami for protein?
Pastrami beef has more protein: 21.8 g per 100 g, compared with 16 g in turkey pastrami. Turkey pastrami has the familiar peppery pastrami seasoning but a lighter poultry flavour.
