Why Turkey Jerky shows up in protein-forward diets
Noticeably leaner than beef jerky at a similar protein number, tracking the same fat gap you'd see comparing raw turkey breast to raw beef.
Serving-size math
A 1oz (28g) portion delivers 8.4g of protein and roughly 81 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 10.38g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
Compare sodium per serving between brands as closely as protein — jerky sodium content varies more between brands than protein content does.
