Steps

• Step 1

  In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup water with soy sauce, honey, chili garlic paste, lime juice and curing salt, if using.

  Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 Cup water

  • 2 Tablespoon honey

  • 2 Tablespoon Asian chili garlic sauce

  • 2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 2 Tablespoon Morton Tender Quick Home Meat Cure, optional

• Step 2

  With a sharp knife, slice the turkey into 1/4 inch thick slices with the grain, which helps it hold together better as it dries. (This is easier if the meat is partially frozen.)

  Ingredients

  • 2 Pound boneless, skinless turkey breast

• Step 3

  Trim any fat, membrane or connective tissue.

• Step 4

  Put the turkey slices in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade mixture over the turkey, and massage the bag so that all the slices get coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

• Step 5

  When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 165°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.
