It had been years since I watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation so when it came on the other night, I popped a bowl of popcorn and sat down to watch it. I had forgotten how funny the turkey scene was and it inspired me to create this turkey jerky recipe. Consume within 3 days or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 30 days.

This was my first try at turkey jerky. I doubled the recipe, but also added 1/2 tsp MSG. Dehydrated at 155 for 7 hours and then 167 for 3 hours. It came out delicious. To me, this is pretty much a base recipe and could easily add the flavors you'd enjoy. My future recipes will include a little cayenne and black pepper and probably a bit more liquid smoke as well.
