    Turkey Jerky,This recipe comes from Carol Costenbader’s cookbook, “Preserving The Harvest”.The turkey is pre-cooked before going through the jerky-drying process, to eliminate the bacterial worries that are associated with raw poultry. This recipe involves a two day process, one day of marination time, and one day of drying time.* As per the reviewer, the fabulous mama’s kitchen, the drying time on this recipe has been reduced from what it was as originally posted.,Replaced the garlic powder with garlic salt and the onion powder with cumen… really tasty! Much more tender than beef jerky! Make sure you trim the fat and anything else that’s not pure meat so its succulent and melts in your mouth with nothing to spit out!
