Turkey pepperoni

[jack]

Hello everyone, I made turkey pepperoni for the first time. I think every thing is going good. I followed the directions exactly and hung the pepperoni in my basement for two weeks it looked and smelled great. It is now in my refridgerator for 8 days and texture still feels soft. Will it stiffen up like the stuff you buy at the store when its done?
Thank You JD.

I would say it should get stiffer the longer its in the fridge.

Turkey pepperoni sounds great.

As a follow up – how did the turkey pepperoni turn out?
I an in the second week of drying in the fridge with my turkey pepperoni- it has lost about 38% of its weight and it is firming up.
One of the casing separated from the meat once I put it in the fridge and it started to shrink.
Does this matter?

HI NUNZIO I am very disappointed. It never really firmed up in the middle to this day.
