Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed coriander seeds, crushed mustard seeds, and sea salt.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire turkey breast, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
In a medium saucepan, combine honey and water. Heat over medium heat until the honey dissolves completely to create a brine.
Place the turkey breast in a large resealable plastic bag or a container. Pour the brine over the turkey, seal the bag or cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to marinate.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the turkey from the brine, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Bake the turkey breast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Enjoy your Paleo Turkey Pastrami in paleo-friendly wraps, salads, or as a protein-packed snack.
