Shopping Tips
I used 1 (8oz) package of Trader Joe’s Uncured Pastrami. It’s lean and contains no nitrates. A 2 oz serving contains 80 calories, 2g fat, 13g protein, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 340mg sodium, 0g sugar.
If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s in your area, most supermarkets sell lean packages of pastrami in the deli aisle.
