Definitely! We actually bought this specifically to do jerky of all varieties.

Yes, it works really well. If it works well for us as humans without the spice its perfect for a chew-all for the pups!

I dried some left-over cooked chicken for myself, it is like a jerky good texture. I did not try to dry raw chicken.

Yes, as long as you have a turkey around 12 lbs. use the roaster rack, gently stuff the bird front and rear. I like sage pork sausage, pecans and mushrooms. You will want to cover the bird with foil, but secure a piece of potatoe, onion or carrots any place the foil may touch against the meat. I find that if the meat touches the metal, pan or foil there will be a dry spot in the meat. Bon Apetit. Happy cooking, Paul.

It depends on how thick the cut of meat is as well as how dry you want the jerky. Thin cuts take less time and get "crispier." We make dog treats all the time & do different chicken thickness but 1/4 thick is good. It dehydrates at 160 degrees for about 4-55 hrs. Then you cook it in the oven for 10 min to make sure the bacteria is killed.

Raw fowl is perfect for salmonella bacteria (food poisoning). Don't do it. Turkey is very lean so it should dehydrate well, after its cooked. There would be no advantage to dehydrating it raw. The dehydrator does not cook the meat it only removes water content.

I have a 4 pound Chihuahua and she LOVES the Stella & Chewys Chicken, we have never ran into an issue with bone fragments. I put hot water on the food and moosh it up before I feed her, so I'd see if there was an issue.

I get a can of science diet dog food beef or chicken gourmet and cut it into three sections. I then quarter each of the three sections. I dice one of the quarters and sprinkle it on that. It doesn't do well on the dry food.

Chicken/Bones and Rabbit/Bones, but "NO" Turkey Bones as they are too hard and too big. Regards, Jim The Mercantile Station

Yes, unless the turkey is so big as to take up all the room inside. I cook veggies same time as chicken often.

By the way, the cook time guide provided is dead on for chicken and turkey. I haven't used it for any other type of meat yet. It works especially well with brined whole chicken.

You have to buy the fruit sheets separate for puree fruit. Just slice fruit you can use the grated sheets that come with the Treat maker. My dog's love the dried chicken jerky treats. You know the treats are safe when you make them your self. I love the treat maker, and would recommend it for anyone that has pets.

With Honest Kitchen Force, I only use it (Force) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry) for the dog, with dehydrated chicken jerky I make myself. For the cat, I give him the meat raw. I intend to start introducing ground chicken wings (including bones) and thighs, but haven't yet.

No, its not a dumb question! If you use pre cooked chicken the paste wont get mixed with the chicken to its core. if its uncooked then the chicken smell will replace with the spices and its aroma.

Yes you can bake/roast a small turkey or chicken. The meat is tender and juicy. The T-FAL has worked well for me and my family. Enjoy.

Just put wet food in a small ziploc bag and leave it in the tray. The kitty will do the rest.
