Comments:
For some unknown reason, Adam decided to get a food dehydrator and make his own jerky. He used some round steak first (on the left up there in the picture) and then used some ground turkey with the jerky gun (on the right.)

It appears that both turned out pretty well. I'm not a jerky person so I can't attest to the taste or quality. Adam is loving it. It seemed pretty simple and the most time-consuming part is the drying, which really happens by itself inside the appliance. I was just glad it didn't stink the house up too much.
