Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag and mix well.
Trim all visible fat from the turkey breast and slice ¼" strips with the grain
Add sliced turkey breast to the mixture in the ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade in a colander.
Pre-heat oven to 300F.
Place turkey strips on a baking rack on top of a aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the strips reach an internal temperature of 165F.
Remove from the oven and dry with you favorite

I used my

and dried for 4 hours at 145F.
The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
