Pastrami-Style Grilled Turkey Breast

This pastrami-style grilled turkey breast is a sophisticated take on a high-protein classic, offering a vibrant alternative to traditional roasts. By using a bold spice rub featuring Sichuan peppercorns, coriander seeds, and fennel, the meat develops a deep, aromatic crust that beautifully mimics the flavours of deli-style pastrami. Whether you choose to cook it over charcoal for a subtle smoky finish or roast it in the oven, this dish delivers exceptionally juicy results and a complex heat that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Ideal for a weekend lunch or as a nutritious meal-prep option, this versatile turkey breast provides a lean and satisfying centrepiece. Serve thin slices alongside sharp pickles and a dollop of mustard for a modern twist on a Sunday roast, or use the leftovers to create the ultimate homemade sandwiches. The slow-roasting method ensures the meat remains tender, making it a reliable choice for those looking to elevate their repertoire of healthy, protein-rich main courses.

Ingredients for Pastrami-Style Grilled Turkey Breast

  • 3 tablespoons coriander seeds

  • 2 cucchiai di grani di pepe nero

  • 1 cucchiaio di semi di finocchio

  • 1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns

  • 1 (6–8-pound) skin-on, bone-in turkey breast, patted dry

  • 1 cucchiaio di olio vegetale

  • 2 cucchiai di sale kosher

  • Un macinino per spezie o un mortaio e pestello

  • a chimney starter and smoking chips (optional)

Coarsely grind coriander seeds, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, and Sichuan peppercorns in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Place turkey on a large rimmed baking sheet and rub all over with oil and sprinkle cavity and all over outside with salt, then do the same with spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.

If chilled, let sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.

If using a charcoal grill, fill a chimney with charcoal and light. Once coals are covered with ash, spread half on each side of grill, leaving centre empty. Set top grate on grill. If using smoking chips, scatter a handful evenly over coals. Place turkey on centre of grate (do not allow any part of turkey to extend over coals). Cover grill. Insert an instant-read thermometer into hole in hood. Cook turkey, scattering a handful of chips evenly over coals every 20 minutes and rotating turkey every 30 minutes for even browning (lift grate with turkey on it and rotate 82°C each time), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast without touching bone registers 66°C, 75–90 minutes. Maintain grill temperature as close as possible to 177°C throughout process, opening vents to increase temperature and closing vents to reduce it and adding more charcoal as needed. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving.

If using oven, preheat to 218°C. Place turkey on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, rotating baking sheet once, until skin is golden brown and most of fat in skin has rendered, 35–45 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 121°C and continue to roast turkey until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast without touching bone registers 66°C, about 45–60 minutes longer. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving.
