For Father's Day, I present to you a 'man snack'. I first posted this 'recipe' many years ago and I find they are still one of my go-to snacks when I watch what I eat. These make such a good low fat, high protein snack. They taste a lot like bacon to me. Consider that each piece has about 15 calories, .75 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of protein-nice! Four of these and a hard boiled egg makes a great on-the-go breakfast that will keep you full and energized until lunch. Plus, these chips are much more economical than packaged beef jerky. Make sure you don't get the 'honey smoked' version of turkey--it will burn faster than anything. Lesson learned.
Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) of 95% fat free smoked white meat turkey (found in a tub, like bologna, in the lunch meat area of most grocery stores)—Not ‘honey smoked’
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Directions: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray liberally with spray. Cut the turkey slices in half and lay pieces in a single layer on the baking sheets. Bake for a total of 1 ½ hours, turning the pieces over with tongs and rotating the trays on the racks every 30 minutes. The pieces should be uniformly brown all over and will shrink by about half their size. Let cool for several minutes to crisp up.
