Dehydrating food - part 5

This time it's turkey with a couple of bananas
Slice the turkey into, err, slices about 3/8" thick
Cover with salt and leave for an hourish
Wash off and put the turkey into a pan with vinegar/ lemon juice for a couple of minutes
Grind the coriander seeds, add nutmeg, allspice or similar. You can toast the coriander if you wish but it doesn't make much difference to the flavour so it's not worth the trouble
Coat the turkey
and load up the dryer trays
A few hours later and it'll look like this


1kg turkey currently costs £8.65 and this shrunk to 375g ≡ £23.07/kg biltong which compares rather nicely with a shop price of £50+ even ignoring the few coppers for the spices and electricity
