Taste Test Tuesday: Trader Joe's Original Natural Turkey Jerky
The American Indians made jerky for a reason - it's a great pack along snack! Dried meat is a high protein way to head off hunger when you are unable to get to food for a while.
It's a pricey package, even at Trader Joe's, but for a little more than 4 dollars you get 4 ounces of convenient protein - the value of which is not to be underestimated on hikes or long trips. Beef jerky is good too; I just tried the turkey jerky this time.
This Trader Joe's brand of turkey jerky is made with no nitrites, MSG, or artificial ingredients, and the turkey is raised without added hormones. Can't argue with that.
A 4 ounce bag gives you 2 serving of 2 ounces each. Each 2-ounce serving contains:
Here is the ingredient label for you too:
Turkey, sugar, water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, flavorings, paprika, natural smoke flavoring, caramel color

So how did it taste? :-)
This is off topic but I notice you often mention Bencol or Take Control margarine instead of butter but you never mention they both have "hydrogenated" oils in them. Why not suggest Smart Balance or Earth Balance spreads since they have no hygrogenation and only a bit of palm oil? At least the body knows what to do with palm oil. And if you are looking for stanols or sterols take them in capsule form without the transfat.
