Actually I was planning to make another batch of dried turkey breast fillets. I've dried almost everything I can: beef, pork, chicken, fish. But the son confused and bought turkey LOIN fillet instead of breast. And I thought, why not?
As a result, in three days we got this kind of beauty
What you need:
* turkey drumstick fillet (I had about 600 gr)
* salt - about a glass
* garlic - 4-5 cloves
* spices (I had a bag of dry adjika + I ground a mixture of peppers and a little cumin and cumin)
👇
Fall asleep meat with a mixture of salt and spices, throw garlic, cover lid and for a day leave at room temperature, but not near the battery, of course. My tray was just on the kitchen table. I turned the meat every couple of hours 👇
In the morning, the meat looked like this (it turned out not a dry mixture, but a thick brine) 👇
I turned it for another three hours in brine and cut it into plates about 5 cm thick. (It was only later that I realized that it could have been done before salting 🤣, but I also left the plates in the brine for an hour, just in case.
After that the meat get out from brine, blot well with a napkin, dip in spices (already without salt). I string the plates on an ordinary skewer 👇
Skewer hang up right in the kitchen, under the spice shelf. Below is a photo of three days of drying 👇
You ask why 3 day, if, taking into account the day of salting, it turns out four? But because we ate the first piece after the second day 🤣 The photo shows that on the third day of drying, on a skewer one piece less, removed the most dried one and ate it at night looking)) This is how the turkey looked on the night of the second of the day 👇
And such beauty on the third day of drying 👇
We love it when the "dried jerky" is not overdried to a state "you can't cut with a knife" therefore, this time was sufficient. If you want to get a result similar to basturma, then hold it for another day.
Try it delicious! For a recipe for drying pork, see my earlier publications.
