Got myself a big ol round roast I want to turn into jerky. I want to try chicken,fish,pork, Or anything else you can turn into jerky.
 
I use this one all the time it makes 4lbs.

-4oz liquid smoke I prefer hickory
-3 cups soya sauce
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-12 drops tabasco sauce
-2 teaspoons crushed peppercorns
-1/2 cup worchestershire sauce

marinade in a bowl for about 24 hrs.then dehydrate.
 
If you have a smoker: first cure the meat, you can use a commercial dry cure available at most sporting goods stores. Cold smoke it using hickory or mesquite chips until it is dry but not brittle.

no smoker: same procedure but dry it in your oven at the lowest possible temperature setting or better yet in a dehydrator.

The smoke will add some additional flavour!

Turkey Jerky;
Cut turkey breast into strips about 1cm thick.
Layer in a plastic or glass bowl - Turkey strips and coarse salt. The strips should be well salted, but not packed in salt.
Let stand for about 1hr.
Wash the salt off the strips.
Toss the damp strips in a handfull of brown sugar.
Hot smoke untill done - I use a Bradley set at 160F for about 4 hours. The smoke is about four pucks of Cherry or Blended pucks used for the first hour.
 
big guy:) thanks for sharing them recipes

hey hawk223..im just reading all the recipes in this thread now,you home yet?:p

Wow I forgot all about this! Here it is.

Tender Jerky

10 lbs lean ground meat (I found extra lean hamburger is not lean enough but wild meat is great) Also 10 lbs fits in about 12 trays of my dehydrator so you might want to make less if you have less trays.
2/3 c curing sugar or salt (see below I measure by weight)
1 tsp. cardamom
1 tsp. marjoram
1-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. black pepper (use fresh (new) pepper as old pepper looses it's flavour)
3 tbsp. liquid smoke
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Curing sugar/salt
1 lb/450g salt (use pickling salt as it is not iodized)
8 oz/225g sugar
2 oz/50g ~10 tsp. pink salt (Prague powder #1) (can be bought at Boryski's in Saskatoon but it's white and also cheap)

2 oz of this mixture does 5 lbs meat. I use the weight rather than the volume in the recipe since I don't know if this was the intended weight volume mixture.

For 10 lbs meat
70 g salt
35 g sugar
8 g Prague powder

Mix and let cure in fridge for a day or at least overnight. Make into strips using a jerky press and dehydrate until it's as dry as you like it. Leaving it a little soft is best I find. If you over dry you can add a little water to it in an air tight container and it will soften.
 
I use a dehydator have tried all meats and the one that tasts the worst is chicken. No matter what I do it tastes bad. But the Turkey is great!
 
Chicken jerky....that just does not sound right lol, but hey I would try anything once. I had goose jerky not to long ago, and was not to bad, and I had goose smoked meat yesterday and all I can say is WOW FANTASTIC!!
 
I have tried many recipes and made up a few of my own over the years, both hot and cold smoked, but I have had the best luck buying premade mixtures commercially available at butcher supply shops.
 
I've tried quite a few. This is my all time favorite for both Deer and Beef jerky.

4 TBSP Soya Sauce China Lily brand is best
2 TBSP H.P. Sauce
2 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce Lea & Perrins brand is best
1 TSP Garlic Salt
1/2 TSP Black Pepper

Keeping make this batch ratio in a huge A&W root beer mug or similiar untill you have lots to soak your sliced meat. Don't be stingy. I use a couple of big 6.6 lb margarine containers. Slice meat about 3/16 thick. Cover each layer of meat with the sauce when placing flat and evenly. Let stand in fridge for a good 12 hrs or more won't hurt. Then, get up bright and early in the morning and don't shake off or wipe off the meat, just place directly on your Food Dehydrator trays. I have 2 big machines and make a pretty good batch all at once. It doesn't last very long around here! Might take 12 hrs for some pc's to do, depends on how thick they are. Rotate your trays once in a while and remove the pc's as they become done. Don't over dry. Jerky should be a little chewy.

If you'd like a little hotter version, add crushed red bell peppers to the mixture. (the kind you would shake on a pizza). Don't be shy there, either. Another reason why you don't shake or wipe off the meat slices as they go on the trays. They will spice it up and add a litlle color to your jerky.
Cayenne Pepper would work too, but be carefull there!
