YAH MON! JERKED TURKEY JERKY



Yah Mon! Jerked Turkey Jerky image

I went on a bit of a tangent when I created this turkey jerky marinade... I used some typical jerk-style seasonings; you can make it as hot as you wish. I use pre-sliced (about 1/8"-1/4" thick) turkey breast meat for this; it doesn't take nearly as long to dehydrate as beef, so keep an eye on it! Prep time includes overnight marinating.

Provided by EdsGirlAngie

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 13h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs turkey breast, sliced about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick and cut into strips
4 tablespoons soy sauce or 4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
  • Add turkey slices and coat thoroughly with marinade; refrigerate overnight.
  • If you have a dehydrator, use it.
  • I use my oven; it only goes down to 170 degrees F.
  • Cover oven rack with aluminum foil then preheat to 170 degrees; place marinated turkey breast strips on baking racks and place racks in the oven.
  • Prop open oven door slightly with an oven mitt to allow humidity to escape.
  • Check turkey after about 4 hours; mine takes between 4 and 4-1/2 hours in a 170 degree F oven.

TURKEY JERKY



Turkey Jerky image

This recipe comes from Carol Costenbader's cookbook, "Preserving The Harvest".The turkey is pre-cooked before going through the jerky-drying process, to eliminate the bacterial worries that are associated with raw poultry. This recipe involves a two day process, one day of marination time, and one day of drying time.* As per the reviewer, the fabulous mama's kitchen, the drying time on this recipe has been reduced from what it was as originally posted.
