Goose jerky

Goose jerky is an excellent low fat jerky but difficult to get commercially. Even if you manage to get hold of wild goose or farmed goos most people would be more inclined to have a delicious roasted goose than make goose jerky. I personally think this is completely acceptable and I know many others would agree with this thinking. It is unfortunate that this type of thinking prevails because the qualities of goose meat are so good for you. So the next question you would probably ask is that, if goose makes such good jerky, is beef jerky healthy?

Wild game jerky

Wild game jerky is the name given to the jerky made from hunted meat as opposed to the farmed variety. Often wild game jerky has to be treated a litle differently to the farmed jerky because the meat can be a little tougher. What this means is that you will need to tenderise the wild game meat before you make it into jerky. Many times this will mean making it into ground or mince meat so that it becomes a softer chew. Some examples of meats which can be either farmed or wild are deer, duck and goose jerky.
