I hope this gains some views. I bought a dehydrator for the exact same reason and so far my "healthy" jerky tastes like crap.

Are you adding flavors?

Trying to avoid as much of the salt as possible. Mostly garlic and onion powder. Seems if you don't salt the heck out of it in some way (soy sauce etc) it doesn't taste good.

I use a dehydrator also making venison jerky. I have great luck with a mix I buy HI MOUNTAIN SEASONINGS Original Blend they also have spice and hot mixs

I am going to see if it works with one of the store bought marinades that I always buy and use when grilling meats.

What kind of dehydrator? I want one but it needs to be inexpensive?

Try mrs dash seasonings

Also there's marinades from landry....

What cut of meat are you using for your jerky? You want something that is inherently flavorful - this is one time when prime meat and cuts like the tenderloin are NOT optimal choices. Eye of round is our go-to because it's pretty lean.

Jerky won't keep well unless it's been cured in some way - that's part of what the salt does for you, so do refrigerate it if you cut the salt back significantly. I would try the low-sodium soy sauce idea, or a low-sodium teriyaki sauce. You can mix either of these down with other ingredients that are flavorful and non-sodium. Also, don't forget that the flavor doesn't HAVE to come entirely from the marinade - if you're using a dehydrator, you can sprinkle the strips that are laid out with seasonings before putting it in the dehydrator.
