Best Homemade Turkey Jerky Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground turkey
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 cube beef bouillon
• wooden paint stir sticks

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground turkey, soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, garlic powder, pepper, ginger, olive oil, and beef bouillon. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Secure two paint stir sticks, spaced 2 inches apart, onto a flat surface using tape. Cover the area with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Place a golfball-sized portion of the turkey mixture between the stir sticks. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to roll the turkey mixture into a thin, even strip. Carefully transfer the strip to a dehydrator tray. Repeat this process with the remaining turkey mixture until all the jerky is formed.
3. Dehydrate the turkey jerky at 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) for 5 to 8 hours, or until it is completely dried and reaches your desired level of chewiness.
