This stuff is very tasty and a great source of protein, but not cheap – even at Amazon prices.

Maybe someday they’ll genetically engineer turkeys whose meat automatically turns to jerky. Until then, I guess this’ll have to do.

This has wonderful flavor–quite spicy but deliciously rich. Not as hard to chew as some other jerkys. Would highly recommend.

I ordered this because it was natural and nitrate free. I just received my shipment – it is very tender as others have said but I found it much too sweet for my taste. The sugar overpowers the pepper flavor and is not what I expected. If you want something that is more sweet than peppery or spicy you will like this brand.

I have had a love affair with Turkey Jerky for a long time, but as I have gotten wiser and started paying more attention to the foods I put into my body, I stopped buying it at the grocery store: it all has MSG and high fructose corn syrup and artificial color, et cetera, added. Not this stuff! And from free-range, hormone-free turkeys, too! The whole family loves it. We’ve been giving my son beef jerky to help cut his teeth and thought this might be a bit too peppery for him (’cause it is a bit peppery), but he really seems to like it (granted, I ate nothing but Mexican food when I was pregnant with him & later when breast-feeding, so he’s fairly accustomed to spicy foods). And when you sign up for the automatic shipments, i think the price is quite reasonable for an organic and healthy snack food.

It's delicious, and while it is expensive, it's just not that expensive for what you get. They sell this at the local "green" grocery store here at much higher rates.

Everyone I know who has tried this brand loves it. It's not dry and tough like some others; the texture is just tender and moist enough to overcome typical jerky flaws. The blend of spices are quite good, even though there's a slight sweet taste. Normally I would hate even the slightest hint of sweetness in a product like this, but somehow it works.

I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Rating: 5 / 5
