HORMEL Canned Ham, Smoked, 5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Delicious and easy to use. Add to rice, potatoes, eggs, make sandwich spreads, add to lentils, beans, anywhere smoked ham is wanted. Easy to keep in pantry. Take camping. Tasty as is or added to other dishes.

Good flavor, great to have on hand. I find it quick for sanwiches and salids so far. Think it will be flexibe for moe, greens etc. Not yet tried but, looking forward for more uses.

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!

I love tuna salad, but my doc said don't overdo it because of mercury in the fish. I like the taste of this (turkey). It is a little salty for me but if you drain the broth (liquid) the meat itself is not too salty, to me. It is, as stated, chunky, like canned tuna and not like Spam (a question in the Q&A section). I mostly use it on top of lettuce and other vegetable salad add ons. I usually eat a can so that's 25gm protein, which I like. OK the cat gets a pinch so it is a little less than 25gm, lol.What you are getting (label net weigh 5 oz): I dissected the can of turkey and what you are getting is 3.3 oz of turkey and 2 oz (liquid volume). So you are not paying , by weight anyway for the weight of the can; though you of course one is paying for the can + liquid + can in the overall price. Or I guess the other angle is that if you don't use the liquid, you are paying for 3.3 oz of meat; I was only gentle with the meat and did not press the lid down to squeeze the liquid out so it's likely it's more like 3oz of meat.By way of comparison the salt (sodium) for the turkey os 310mg/2oz verses 480 for ham and 260 for chicken, a question raised in the Q&A section. Chicken-of-the-Sea chunk light is 180mg/2oz and Think Pink Salmon is 270mg/2oz from the grocery store.The can and paper label go into the curbside recycling can(s).Overall, pleased with this product, serves my needs, it's a nice change from tuna or salmon.Edit/Update:Tried the White and Dark Turkey and endeared the White Tukey. The White & Dark is a better flavor to me- but each to they personal taste. The W&D is higher in fat than W, 1 versus 1.5 gm. Overall calories are the same, not sure how you add a little fat and the fat cals stay the same. Purchase in Feb 2019 and the expiration dates were September 2021.

It's ham. If you eat pork, this product offers a respectable quality. I like it because it's a reasonable serving for a person on a lower carb diet, and I don't have to remember to thaw something. The can says 5 oz. I think but it's closer to 4 oz. after pouring off (and rinsing off/patting dry) the broth it's stored in. I dice it up and make it into soup with tomato salsa and lots of diced fresh veggies and broth.

Homel can ham is wonderful for sandwiches. I use it to make Ham and Cheese Pita Bread sandwiches. They are a pantry staple in my house. The cans are especially good to take camping and they require no refrigeration and pack well. I buy them from Amazon because I can't get them in the grocery stores anymore.

We have bought these several times over the past few years and have never been disappointed. The ham chunks taste yummy with a smoked flavor that makes excellent ham salad sandwiches, which my husband really enjoys. Plus, these last quite a while in the cupboard for emergency meals and are a good source of protein (9 grams per serving) and a good value for the money.

This isnt what I think of as ham. This is ham left overs, processed through a machine, plopped in a can. A "ham sausage", might be a better name. It taste good, just not really ham.
