Homemade turkey jerky hits differently when the marinade is this good — apple juice and coconut aminos bring a subtle sweetness and savory depth, while fresh rosemary and ginger push it somewhere genuinely interesting. Lean turkey breast does all the heavy lifting here, and because you're building everything from scratch, there's no need to scrutinize store-bought jerky labels for hidden legume-based fillers or additives that can sneak into commercial versions. The overnight marinade is where the magic happens, letting those bright, herby flavors fully penetrate each strip before the low-and-slow oven dry does its thing. Chilling the turkey before slicing is a small but brilliant trick that makes getting those thin, even strips almost effortless. Flipping the strips halfway through and checking the internal temperature ensures every piece is both perfectly dried and completely safe to eat. Once cooled, the jerky keeps well in the fridge for up to two weeks, making it a smart batch-cook snack to have on hand all week long.

Place the turkey breast in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, until it is firm but not frozen solid — this makes slicing much easier. Using a sharp knife, slice the turkey against the grain into strips about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, whisk together the apple juice, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, rosemary, salt, and turmeric until combined.
