About Half a cup of turkey meat
Half a cup of turkey meat is a versatile and nutritious protein choice widely used in global cuisines, particularly American, Mediterranean, and European dishes. Lean turkey meat is low in fat and calories, making it an excellent option for those seeking heart-healthy or weight-conscious meals. It is rich in essential nutrients like protein, B vitamins (notably B6 and B12), zinc, and selenium, which support energy, immunity, and overall wellness. While turkey breast is the leanest cut, drumsticks and thighs contain slightly higher fat content. Turkey is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb and high-protein diets. For optimal health benefits, choose skinless turkey and avoid heavily processed or sodium-laden preparations like deli meat. Whether roasted, grilled, or added to soups and salads, half a cup of turkey offers a lean, flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
