  • Equal weight thigh and breast meat, approximately 1" cubes but then seasoned, cured and vac sealed so they may elongate beyond an inch. Cured for a week then sous vide cooked to 145 F internal. Ice bath, room temp bloomed for 30 minutes then frozen until solid enough to slice at “12” on the meat slicer.

    This was my first attempt ever. I mentioned process tweaks and I’ll elaborate here I would use more mechanical processing to optimize protein extraction and thus binding so it doesn’t separate when sliced and cooked. Otherwise it has the texture of real bacon and delicious turkey flavour.

    I can add smoke but it’s typically not included in a health-conscious turkey strip where I live.

    I’m legitimately curious, don’t leave me hangit bro.
