ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb turkey pastrami, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon beaver hot cream-style horseradish sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 8 leaves curly green leaf lettuce
- toothpick
directions
- Mix the cream cheese, horseradish, garlic, salt and pepper together until well blended.
- Lay the pastrami slices on a flat surface and spread a small amount of the cheese mixture on each pastrami slice. Cut the pastrami slices into approximately 1" by 3" strips or similar depending on the size you purchase from your delicatessen so that when rolled they will be bite size pieces.
- Cut a small piece of green leaf curly lettuce to fit one side of the small end of each pastrami piece; place it on the cream cheese mixture so that when rolled a small portion of the curly leaf lettuce is extended over the pastrami.
- Roll up the pastrami strip from the opposite end of the lettuce and secure with a toothpick. You should have a roll of pastrami with the leaf lettuce extended. Place on a serving plate and sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper and serve.

These really were not to my taste or my guests. The lettuce really was not what I expected texture wise, so I switched to canned asparagus about half way through making them. Also, while I really liked the cream cheese mixture, esp. with the asparagus, the turkey pastrami was way too salty and not appetizing in this combination. I did use a brand of turkey pastrami that I like and use often so it wasn't the brand's fault. I would love this with turkey or ham instead.
