Cooked turkey breast is a lean, flavorful protein often associated with American cuisine, particularly during holiday meals like Thanksgiving. This versatile meat is typically roasted, baked, or grilled, with minimal seasoning to highlight its natural flavor. Turkey breast is an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health and repair. It's also rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium, which contribute to energy metabolism and immune function. Being low in fat, especially when skinless, it’s a heart-healthy choice for those aiming to reduce saturated fat intake. However, certain preparations, like smoked or pre-seasoned options, may contain added sodium. While turkey breast is widely considered a healthy option, balance it with nutrient-rich sides to create a well-rounded meal.
