Chewy Turkey Jerky

3.6 (464)

The flavor of turkey packs a real punch which makes it a perfect starting point in this turkey jerky recipe. Turkey is also lower in fat than beef jerky, making it a healthier option. Turkey jerky makes a delicious, high-protein snack. Pack it up for a hike, long car ride, or simply keep it on hand for when hunger strikes.

  • Serves 4
  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Dehydrating Time 9 hours
  • Total Time 9hrs 15m

Ingredients

  • 3/8 cup liquid smoke
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
  • 1 3/4 cups Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons mesquite flavouring liquid
  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 3/8 cup onion powder
  • 4 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 3/4 tablespoons (26 ml) sea salt flakes
  • 2.6 kg turkey meat, thinly sliced

Tablespoons here are 15 ml. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml — use three teaspoons instead.

Instructions

  1. Mix liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce, soy sauce, mesquite flavouring, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, sea salt flakes and garlic powder together in a big-size zip-top bag.
  2. Put the turkey strips into the mixture, seal the bag and coat meat well by squishing. Open the bag and squeeze out air; seal the bag and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 12 to 24 hours.
  3. Separate turkey strips from marinade and use a paper towel to dry off extra liquid from meat.
  4. Set the turkey strips in a layer without overlapping on the dehydrator racks. Place in a dehydrator and dry 57 °C for 9 hours until it becomes chewy and leathery. It shouldn't be too crispy to break apart when bent.
