	Dehydrate Meat Dehydrate meat, and you have a healthy, low-cost beef jerky that can last up to a year or more if stored properly. Homemade jerky can be made with any type of meat, including ground beef or ground turkey. Jerky is great to take on hikes or to simply enjoy as a snack. It's also an excellent way of being prepared for an emergency. Use a vacuum sealer to seal your jerky, and it can last up to one year out of the freezer. Dehydrate Meat Storing Your Homemade Jerky Before storing your meat, always make sure your meat is completely cool. Otherwise, it will sweat and start to mold. Home-dried jerky will last for one to two months on the shelf. If you made your jerky without salt, you must refrigerate it and use it within two weeks. If you don't plan to eat your jerky for awhile, then package it very tightly and put it in your freezer. If it's tightly wrapped and in the freezer, your jerky can last for several months up to a year. Vacuum pack your jerky using a vacuum sealer, and it will have a far longer shelf life. Dehydrate Meat How to Make Beef Jerky Make beef jerky easily with this Jerky Gun. You can make a less expensive jerky with either ground beef or ground turkey and then place it in your dehydrator for about four hours.

When dehydrating meat, it's important to use a dehydrator with a temperature control. The meat should be dried at a consistent temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the meat on your dehydrator trays to dry according to the manufacturer's directions. About halfway through the process, turn your jerky strips for even drying.
