Ok so I went to get some jerky for an upcoming hike, stopped by "The Beef Jerky Outlet" in Seviereville. I talked to the owner, real nice guy, showed me this "'Original Recipe' Smoked Turkey". Got 16oz for less than 20 bucks.


Nutrition Info: 1oz serving

Sodium: 500mg / 21% (<--- pretty low for any jerky!)

So not quite as much protein as beef jerky, but WAY less sodium and fat. As for taste, it comes in "Original Recipe" and "Honey BBQ" flavors. I picked the original purely to test the taste and quality of the turkey jerky. It's delicious, perfect jerky texture and great taste! I can't wait to try the honey bbq. As I talked to the owner, he gave me his card, turns out they have a website! <www.tennesseejerky.com> They have many different flavors you can order and they will ship to you, just search "smoked turkey". Also comes in 2lb instead of 16oz packages.

Welcome to WB, EastCoastFeast.

I just navigated to your website and browsed to the product you recommended. I noticed that it's also available in Lemon Pepper and Cherry Maple varieties. Sounds tasty.

The price is the same for each of the 16 oz varieties: $24.95
Add to that the flat-rate shipping charge of: $10.00

Total cost of 1 pound of turkey jerky, delivered to me: $34.95

I don't doubt that it is very tasty, but 35 bucks for 1 pound of turkey? I just can't justify it.

Ouch! That is a little pricey. I guess it's a much better deal if you are in town, he also had it on sale for an extra 20% off in the store.
