What You Should Know

You’d spot this 365 Turkey Jerky in the snack aisle or chilled meat section when grabbing a portable, protein-forward bite for a road trip, hike, or quick office snack. It gives a practical, slightly nostalgic campfire vibe — chewy and savory — and the use of tamari, added sugars, liquid smoke and concentrated sauces indicates a preserved, seasoned product: dried texture and high sodium/sugar for shelf stability, consistent with a processed (NOVA 3) item rather than a minimally processed meat or a highly industrial ultra-processed formulation.

Common Questions about Original Turkey Jerky, 8 OZ

The Turkey Jerky offers a decent protein punch at 9 grams per serving, making it a solid snack choice for those looking to fuel up. However, it does have 570 mg of sodium per ounce, which is something to keep in mind if you're watching your salt intake. So, it's healthy in moderation, especially if you're active, but not necessarily a daily staple for everyone.
