Kalkon, the Swedish word for turkey, is a lean protein often enjoyed in Scandinavian cuisine. Rich in essential nutrients, kalkon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin B6, niacin, and selenium, a mineral that supports metabolism and immune function. Its low fat content makes it a healthier alternative to red meats, while still providing robust flavor. Kalkon can be roasted, grilled, or incorporated into dishes like soups, sandwiches, and salads. Originating in North America, turkey gained global popularity due to its versatility and nutritional benefits. While kalkon is generally a healthy choice, processed versions like deli turkey or cured turkey may contain added sodium, preservatives, and reduced nutrients. To maximize its health benefits, opt for fresh, minimally processed kalkon and pair it with whole grains and vegetables for a balanced meal.
