Instructions

Preheat the dehydrator to 155 F.
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, olive oil, paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional liquid smoke and cayenne pepper; let sit for 15 minutes.
Add ground turkey to the mixture and combine thoroughly, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
On waxed or parchment paper, roll or pat a portion of the jerky mixture to 1/4-inch thickness.
Place a dehydrator tray over the jerky and invert to transfer; remove the paper and patch any holes.
Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours at 155 F, checking after 4 hours for a chewy, not crunchy, texture.
Serve.
