Roast turkey with gravy is a classic dish often associated with American holiday traditions, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas. This hearty meal consists of whole turkey seasoned with herbs and spices, roasted until tender and flavorful. The gravy is typically made from the turkey drippings, combined with flour and broth for a rich, savory accompaniment. Turkey is a lean source of protein, offering essential nutrients such as B vitamins, selenium, and zinc, which support immunity and metabolism. While the meat itself is relatively low in fat, the gravy can be calorie-dense depending on the preparation and added ingredients like butter or cream. Opting for lighter seasonings and reducing added fat in the gravy can make this dish healthier. Roast turkey with gravy is a satisfying meal that balances indulgence and nutrition, especially when paired with wholesome sides like vegetables or whole grains.
