What is a good simple brine recipe for making Turkey Jerky? I'm thinking of trying to make Turkey Jerky after sampling some at a local meat shop.

Rip you dont needx to brine it. just use spice and cure.
i use Hi Mountians stuff.

Excellent! Thanks. I've never made jerky before, so I will learn! I ordered some Sweet and Spicy from them and a jerky screen. :aok

If you have a gas oven with a pilot light.... One simple way to jerk beef, fowl, or venison is to slice it thin and spice it up with your favorite flavorings... many add liquid smoke on top of that.
Then skewer one end with a toothpick and hang from the rack in the oven. Do not turn on the oven at all... the pilot light will dry the meat overnight. This I did in Boy Scouts years and years ago.

DO NOT ADD LIQUID SMOKE :furious It's all chemicals. Go down to your local 7/11 if you want chemical filled jerky

Rip i been making jerky for years. I got the super dehydrator and now a smoker.
Ive dont all the Hi Moutnian flavors they are all excellent.
my advice for your 1st run at it is just mix up the spice and cure like it tells ya put it on let it sit 24 hrs then put it on the smoker.
the screeen doesnt do you any good really unless your making jerky from ground meat and you dont want to use casings.(meat sticks with out the skin)
i also smoke my trout(when im catching them). i wanna try there trout brine!
Ill be ordering again here soon so ill pick up a batch then.

I use my Vermont Casting as a smoker. I have 4 burners, and just leave one on low, then place a stainless steel bowl over it with soaked wood chips. I have to change out the ash about every 3 hours, not a problem. The temp might be alittle high for smoking jerky (about 175 according to the dial) but it works great for everything else I've smoked. :aok Thanks for the insight!
-
The only jerky I know how to make is venison (which rocks, BTW). I do it at 160 degrees, in the oven exactly as Shuffler described. Wedge the door open a little to get the temp to drop that low.

And here I was thinking Rip was finally coming out of the closet....

duck jerkey is by FAR the BEST jerky one will ever eat

Wheeew.....I`m glad noone has brought up the pole smoking method. :rofl
It could go south in a heartbeat.

Boxboy, thanks again for the recommendation! I smoked 3 lbs. of Turkey Jerky with the Hi mountain brand of cure this past week-end. The family loves it! We needed a healthy snack (besides standard fruits) for the kids before football and soccer practices. This fit the bill perfect! Awesome tasting jerky!
I smoked 1.5 lbs with hickory chips and the other 1.5lbs with mesquite chips. Both taste great although I lean to mesquite for the better flavor of the two.

LOL Looking at the thread title.... I kinda thought it was heading in that direction!

My bad. Please continue. :P

The title could have been "ATTN:TURKEY JERKERS" but I would assume that the same responses would have appeared. ;)

Snort I look at that picture and turn into instant Alpha male. My buddy jerks a lot of meat from last season for the waterfowl season every year. We always have elk, moose, goose, deer, turkey, bear, boar, all kindacritter going.

I'm going to try my hand at Duck jerky, that is...if we're successful next week-end in knocking a few down. :)

Eating on some Deer Jerkey my coworker brought me today. MMMMM MMMM Good!

I love these topics cause the best of enemies are civil here...hehe.
Oh boy! Jerky! I've wanted to dabble at jerky for some time now. I didn't want to bother buying a dehydrator or anything, I just wanted to smoke it. I got tiredhead and never got around to messing with it. Now I'm inspired again. After Thanksgiving, I plan to get some meat and jerk it. :confused: Thanks for the tips and I'll post a pic good or bad when I've finished my first load. :confused:
BTW - I'm not a fan of most wholesale jerkys like Oberto, and Jack Links, but I used to get a jerky at Sam's called something like Old settlers, or Western Settlers Jerky in the early 90's. Robertsons' ain't bad either. Anyway, I like the thin tough stuff that makes your jaw sore. Also, the spicier the better. Anyone have some suggestions?
