Trim meat of all visible fat and any connective tissue; Cut into 2 inch or  
so cubes. Place in bowl of food processor. Combine all seasonings in a small  
bowl and mix well. Pour over meat cubes. Process until meat is chopped very  
finely. If it is less fine it will be not extrude well and will be crumbly  
after drying. Place in jerky extruder, (we got ours at Wal−Mart). Extrude  
onto dryer trays and dry for about 4 hours for four trays, or until all  
moisture is gone and meat is dry and leathery. We like ours almost crunchy  
as it will absorb some moisture from the air after drying. We store ours in  
glass jars, tightly closed. You can store in the fridge if you like. We have  
a vacuum sealer and store extras in vacuum sealed jars. I'm sure you could  
make turkey jerky the same way. The Dehydrator must be set to the highest  
temperature it will go. I think ours is 145 degrees. You could also put it  
in the oven to dry. The convection type oven will do best because of the air  
flow.
