Ultimate Turkey Jerky Recipe: Savory and Flavorful Delight

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.
