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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed coriander seeds, crushed mustard seeds, and sea salt.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire turkey breast, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine honey and water. Heat over medium heat until the honey dissolves completely to create a brine.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 7

Remove the turkey from the brine, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake the turkey breast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 10

Enjoy your Paleo Turkey Pastrami in paleo-friendly wraps, salads, or as a protein-packed snack.
