Topic: RE: Jerky

Piggybacking onto this initial post, I understand that making chicken and turkey jerky requires special equipment.  It's somehing about the dehydator.  Can anyone that is for certain "in the know" explain?  I'm wanting to purchase a dehydrator so I want to get the correct equipment for all food including poultry.

When getting beef do you have the butcher slice it in real thin strips?  Is there any particular website or YouTube you recommend on the ABCs of dehydrating?

My husband is our "jerky" maker. I'm not sure which recipes he uses, as he is always experimenting with different ones. For meat, he varies it to whatever is on sale, he just makes sure it is a very lean cut.

Great list, I love kitchen gadgets, probably a little too much! I think my favorite kitchen additions since surgery have been the Instant Pot and then mini muffin and loaf pans. We also use our dehydrator fairly regularly!

I'm in GA. We only use our on occasion when we don't want to grill outside. But thrift stores have them all the time. I bet you could pick up one there for a good price. Or a yard sale!

Crustless quiches are great choices for no red meat.  You can customize them endlessly.  This is an example.  You could swap out the sweet potatoes for more spinach or something easily.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
