Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sweetener (e.g. erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, including the ground turkey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sweetener, liquid smoke, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the turkey mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the mixture using a rolling pin until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C), or set your dehydrator to the lowest setting. If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer the turkey sheet onto the prepared baking sheet or dehydrator tray, removing the top parchment paper.
Score the turkey sheet into desired serving sizes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place the tray in the preheated oven or dehydrator. If using an oven, prop the door slightly open to allow moisture to escape, using a wooden spoon or similar tool.
Dry for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the jerky is dry to the touch and slightly pliable but no longer moist.
Remove the jerky from the oven or dehydrator and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, break into pieces along the scored lines.
Store the turkey jerky in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate to keep it fresh for longer.
