No, however you may want to sear (brown) the outsides before placing it in the crock pot.
When making beef jerky 350 degrees would be too high of a temperature. generally, around 265 degrees is the best temperature to make jerky. 350 would cook rather than dry the meat, and jerky is a dehydrated meat.
Jerky can be made from any type of meat. I've eaten turkey jerky, deer jerky, pork jerky, beef jerky, buffalo jerky and a couple of others. Jerky is basically just dried meat. Many people make their own by laying the strips of meat on a cookie sheet, basting it with teriyaki and drying it at a low temp in the oven. It can also be dried in the sun if there is a way to keep critters off of it. Just look up jerky recipes in your favorite search engine.
Jerky Cure is something you use to season and prepare meat for drying to make jerky.
Jerky is made from meat, so, yes it is meat!

Yes, beef jerky is considered processed meat because it undergoes various methods of preservation and flavoring before being consumed.
Meat dried by various methods in order to make it last without going bad has been around since long before recorded history. Raw meat of all kinds would have been dried to keep it edible for longer periods before people learned to cook food.
they smoked the buffalo meat then dried it up
cook it
No, turkey jerky is made from turkey meat.
Yes the word jerky can be a noun. It is a piece of meat.
