WHAT: Jennie-O Turkey Breast Sticks

STATS: One stick has 25 calories and zero carbohydrate, zero fiber, 0.5 fat and 5 protein grams. Sold in boxes of six. Visit jennieo.com.

THE SKINNY: Jennie-O's new meat snacks are turkey, not jerky.

Each individually wrapped package features a simple, smallish three-quarters-ounce stick of smoked, roasted turkey perfect for a quick, peppery protein fix.

We could point out that it would be cheaper just to package one's own turkey for a portable snack. But that would be jerky.
