Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds of ground turkey breast
- 2 tbsp of water
- 1 tbsp of liquid smoke flavor
- 1 tsp of kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp of pink curing salt
- 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp of onion powder
- 1/4 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp of ground dried sage
Step 1
In a spacious bowl, blend ground turkey, water, liquid smoke, kosher salt, pink salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, and sage. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight to marinate.
Step 2
Using a jerky gun, shape the meat mixture into sticks and arrange them neatly on the dehydrator racks.
Step 3
Adjust the dehydrator settings to 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for optimal drying.
Step 4
Allow the jerky to cook for about 2 1/2 hours. Once done, switch off the dehydrator, remove the lid, and let the jerky rest for an additional hour to achieve the perfect texture.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your turkey jerky in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and flavor. Consider using airtight containers or resealable bags to lock in the savory goodness.
- 2. Store your jerky away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent it from becoming overly dry or losing its flavor profile.
