In general, jerky is any type of lean meat that’s been salted (to prevent bacteria growth) and dehydrated, Del Coro says. It’s usually found in stick or strip form and frequently made with meat that’s been seasoned with spice rubs or marinades (or sometimes smoked). While beef jerky is the most common kind, jerky made with other animal proteins — like turkey, bison, elk and, of course, fish — are also becoming more popular, Del Coro says.
