A savory and sweet jerky perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped cranberries, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Spread the turkey mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheets. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  4. Bake for 4 to 6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm. The exact time will depend on your oven and the thickness of the jerky.
  5. Let the jerky cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking it into pieces or cutting it into strips.
  6. Store the jerky 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.
