From Dehydrated & Delicious by Ron Popeil and John May, About.com Guest

Cooked turkey is sliced thin and spiced with ginger and soy sauce to make this turkey jerky. If you do not have a dehydrator, you can place on racks inside baking sheets and use your oven's lowest temperature setting. Plan ahead for marination time.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 6 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (can use light soy sauce)
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 2 pounds cooked turkey, sliced paper thin (turkey thighs are breasts are best)

Preparation:

Mix soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and liquid smoke together in a bowl. Dip turkey slices into marinade. Place dipped meat in layers in a bowl or dish. Pour remaining marinade sauce over meat. Cover tightly and let marinate in refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. Rotate layers of meat occasionally.

Place in dehydrator until dry. While meat is drying, blot excess oil with paper towel. Yield: about 1-1/2 pounds
