Wild Turkey Pemmican Bars (Natural Protein Bars)
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey, cubed
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped (we used our Kitchen Kit Chopper)
- ½ cup coconut oil, heated just long enough to liquefy
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger
Directions
These homemade protein bars are the perfect companion for backpackers and hunters, and an equally satisfying snack for the family. All it takes to make a solid pemmican is meat, dried fruit, nuts, and fat. Traditional recipes use tallow - we used coconut oil with great success.
- Grind the turkey through the fine plate of your Meat Grinder.
- Combine all ingredients in the Manual Kitchen Kit with the chopper inserted. Turn the handle until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Place a piece of parchment paper over a Dehydrator tray. Pour the pemmican onto the center of the paper, then use a rolling pin to evenly spread the pemmican to the edges of the tray.
- Dehydrate at 155°F for 8 hours, or until the meat is completely dried (make sure there is no moisture in the center).
- Enjoy right away, or vacuum seal and snack for up to one month.
