Time to spice up your cured meat game with some basturma! Often bought in a deli like turkey or ham, basturma uses a unique spice mix that tastes strongly of fenugreek and will impress anyone who tries it.
*This basturma was made in the dead of summer, but if you are making it in the winter feel free to use a cool dark place to hang the meat to dry rather than using a fridge*
