About Roast turkey
Roast turkey is a flavorful and protein-rich dish often associated with festive celebrations, especially in North America, where it is a centerpiece of Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Its origins trace back to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, who introduced turkey to European settlers. Prepared by seasoning and roasting the whole bird in the oven, it boasts a tender, juicy texture and a savory taste. Nutritionally, roast turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, B vitamins, selenium, and zinc, all of which are essential for muscle growth, immune function, and energy production. Depending on preparation, the dish remains relatively low in fat, especially when the skin is removed. However, consuming too much dark meat or rich gravies can increase fat and sodium intake. Opting for white meat and lighter accompaniments can make roast turkey a wholesome and satisfying choice for any meal.
