About Turkey breast

Turkey breast is a lean cut of poultry commonly enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Native to North America, turkey has become a staple in roasted, grilled, and deli-style dishes. Turkey breast is prized for its high protein content, providing essential amino acids that support muscle growth and repair. It is naturally low in fat, especially when skinless, making it a popular choice for health-conscious diets. Rich in vitamins and minerals like B6, niacin, selenium, and phosphorus, it contributes to energy metabolism, immune function, and bone health. While lower in calories compared to red meats, processed turkey breast or versions with added sodium and preservatives may diminish its health benefits. Opting for minimally processed turkey breast without added salt ensures a nutrient-dense, heart-healthy option suitable for various dietary plans, from low-carb to high-protein lifestyles.
