I used to let my dog have human turkey jerky, too. He loved it. In fact, he always preferred human food to dog food. He was very smart.
Our little dog has had pancreatitis so we are careful with fats, and his digestive system also has a lot of trouble with starches. Of course he likes both but we figure he gets plenty (but not too much) in his regular food. Our more recently adopted mini pin seems to have the same food intolerances. On the other hand our older mini schnauzer can eat just about anything without getting sick, but we make her eat the same low fat foods because she is overweight.
The jerky is good because it it has a powerful flavor and very tiny pieces satisfy them. They like regular dog biscuits but they only get one small one at a time.
