Dried or smoked sausage baby! drying and smoking were originally a means to preserve meats. Landjaeger is one of my favorites. Of course pepperoni is a familiar standby.

Also hummus powder (I like Fantastic Foods brand) is a great thickener and adds tons of flavor not to mention protein. (hummus is basically garbonzo beans). You can also get black bean powder which is good too.

But if it is meat you want, you can't go wrong with sausages! http://www.bplite.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1078
