Description
A light and flavorful jerky made with turkey and sweet peas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup sweet peas, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 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, sweet peas, 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, creating a uniform layer.
- Bake for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm to the touch. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your jerky and your oven.
- 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
- For a spicier jerky, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Ensure the jerky is completely dry before storing to prevent spoilage.
