About Fried turkey
Fried turkey is a flavorful dish often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine and is a popular centerpiece for festive gatherings like Thanksgiving. Prepared by submerging a whole turkey in hot oil, its skin becomes crispy while the meat remains tender and juicy. The dish typically includes seasonings such as salt, pepper, and various spices, depending on personal taste and regional recipes. Fried turkey is rich in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like B6, niacin, and selenium, which support energy production and immune health. However, the frying process adds significant fat and calories, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Choosing healthier oils with unsaturated fats, like peanut or canola oil, can help minimize unhealthy trans fats. While traditionally indulgent, fried turkey can be enjoyed as part of a varied and mindful dietary plan.
