My Big Honkin' Smoked Turkey Pastrami on Beer Bread Sammich

I've made these in the past... and promised myself I wouldn't make any more sandwiches that were bigger than my head... but I couldn't resist. :)
This is definately one to make when you have company.


I make the turkey pastrami by combining
5 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of paprika
2 TBS cracked black pepper
1 tsp of powdered ginger (I used fresh minced)
1 tsp of mustard seeds
1/4 cup of kosher salt
and 1/3 cup of crushed corriander

coat the turkey breast well, wrap and chill overnight. Place in a bowl while in the fridge to catch any drippings.



Onto the Memphis Pro with hickory for a short smoke then I raise the heat to 325.

Also added a skillet of beer bread brushed with butter and topped with minced onions.

Beer bread....

I mix 3 cups of self rising flour with
1/4 cup of sugar
a bit of salt
mixed with one beer

I made a smokey cheese disc by combining some of my favorite cheeses... I used mozz., jack, cheddar and american.

I let the cheese smoke until melted, then chill in the fridge...

I split the beer bread and started building..

added my smokey cheese disc....

caramelized onions




crisp bacon




greens to make it look healthy and pretty.. :)




I slathered the lid with a creamy horseradish sauce....














It was sooooo tasty. :)

I'll be making this again, but only when I have a house full of company!
