Description
A simple recipe for making soft turkey and banana jerky.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, mashed banana, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Bake for 4 to 6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and leathery. The time will vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the jerky.
- Once baked, remove the jerky from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Break or cut the jerky into desired pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
Notes
- Ensure the banana is very ripe for easier mashing and better flavor.
- For a chewier jerky, bake for a shorter time. For a drier jerky, bake longer.
- You can adjust the seasonings to your preference.
