Food Jammers Season 1, Episode 4: Ultimate Q

Dehydrated Turkey

While planning a canoe trip, we decided to construct a multi-tiered dehydrator so we could have a full turkey dinner with all the fixings out in the wild. We sliced the pieces, dried them up, then put them back together again so we could reconstitute it in perfect shape on our trip. The result takes the traditional turkey dinner into the realm of the mystical. When we got home from the trip, we used the dehydrator to make the world’s first fruit leather jacket ever.
