Description
A healthy and flavorful jerky made with turkey and carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrots, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. 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 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm. The exact time will depend 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 2 weeks, or refrigerate for longer storage.
Notes
- For a spicier jerky, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Ensure the jerky is completely dry before storing to prevent mold.
