Hormel White & Dark Chunk Turkey, 5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

I'm pleased. The reviews vary greatly, so I figured I was taking a chance as I really didn't know what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised by how good these tins of white and dark turkey meat are. They are full of meat, with really no liquid (see my picture). It is more like a thick broth. I didn't bother straining any of it off because there simply isnt enough. Though I wonder if ambient house temp impacts this (currently winter, with cool house, with pantry in coldest part of house, so fats may thicken up)?Good sized chunks, good taste- albeit similar to chicken. I mean, its meat in a can so for the most part expect it to taste, smell, appear as such. If you don't like tinned chicken then you wont like this. If you are expecting carved turkey breast, you wont like this. It is canned meat, so it is what it is. And for me, it is exactly as I was hoping for, and so it gets 5 stars from me. The main thing for me is that it wasn't a tin of mush, and it wasn't a tin of liquid. I wanted to pay for meat, not water, and this has been so far a very good purchase. I'll buy again so long as price stays reasonable. Currently $15.60 for 12 cans.Very convenient. I dont rely on tinned meat for day to day living, but it comes in handy. I keep an assortment in my pantry- chicken, tuna, salmon, and now turkey. It makes for quick no fuss protein source for salads, crackers, sandwiches, and quick soups. But I also keep it on hand for emergency use. Good for SHTF as well as semi regular use. Not always able to get to the store, not always able to find foods in store, not always able to pay the prices, and so on. Also, I have two big dogs and 3 cats, so having extra meat on hand also reassures me that they will have nibbles in case there is food shortage for them. I just like having a variety of food available. I never bought tinned turkey before but now I plan to add it to my on going grocery/pantry list. Glad to have found something worthwhile to stock in my pantry. YUM!

The price is right for turkey in a can. It adds flavor and an alternative to every vegetable dish and accent to potato or rice dishes. Easy poptop and lots of juice.

I used to really appreciate the Swanson brand canned turkey, but sadly it was discontinued.So then I tried Hormel canned turkey (10 oz). I found the product tasty and the quality of the turkey was good but they certainly pack far more water in the can than is needed. Hormel seems to have discontinued the larger 10 oz. can though, so I've had to switch to 5 oz.Fortunately, I can purchase it from Amazon now in a 12-pack, but I still long for the 10 oz. can.They certainly pack far more water in the can than is needed. Honestly, if you drain and press the water out of the product, you are left with half a can of turkey. This reduces the value and wastes shipping costs for all that water. I understand that some water is necessary to maintain the product quality, but Hormel goes overboard.Also, It is a bit too salty for my taste, so once I have drained the water from can, I rinse the turkey before use to remove some of the salt.Pros:Quality turkey, mixed white and dark meat for flavor variety, convenience in a can.Cons:Half the can is water, and it is a bit too salty.

I like having a few cans of this while on the road, as its so versatile. It tastes pretty good. Its getting very expensive though.

love that this is even a product.for dietary reasons, i need to add protein to carb heavy meals and this is so easy...i mix it with instant mashed potatoes, canned green beans, and sometimes gravy or a gravy packet and it's like a simple holiday dinner in a bowl that only takes hot water and a little bit of time in the microwave, oh and if i'm really craving carbs, i'll mix in a box of instant stuffing mix too

Delicious

Love it…!!! I can eat it right out of the can. It is absolutely delicious, my favorite meat in the can..!!!

Man, how times have changed, used to get this product and the can was packed tight with meat, when I opened these there was almost more water than meat product. The taste was good but I feel like I am paying for half water and half meat. Not sure if I will purchase again.
