Papa Johns jerky recipe
This is my Papa Johns jerky recipe. It can be used with most any kind of meat sliced or ground. I have had very good luck with deer, beef, buffalo, bear, and moose. If you substitute teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce it works very well with ground goose or duck. The only thing that I found does this does not work with is ground turkey from the grocery store. I used the store bought mixes for a couple of years and this beats them every time.
2 Lbs. meat (sliced thin or ground)
1/4 cup soy sauce (substitute teriyaki sauce for geese & duck)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 Tsp. liquid smoke
1/2 Tsp. garlic powder
1 Tsp. Morton curing salt
1/2 Tsp. black pepper *
2 table spoon brown sugar **
* If you like your jerky spicier just add a little more pepper or add some cayenne pepper for extra kick.
** If you like you jerky sweeter add more brown sugar.
Place mixed recipe blended with meat in glass container (tastes better) or plastic bowl, do not use metal or tin. Let marinate for at least overnight, but 24 is recommended. Then dehydrate in method of choice.
