About Turkey

Turkey is a versatile, nutrient-rich poultry native to North America, often enjoyed globally in traditional and seasonal dishes. It is an excellent source of lean protein, supporting muscle health and satiety with minimal fat content, particularly in the breast meat. Turkey is also packed with essential nutrients like vitamins B6 and B12, which aid in energy production and nerve function, along with selenium, zinc, and phosphorus to support immunity and bone health. Commonly used in cuisines ranging from American Thanksgiving feasts to various Mediterranean recipes, turkey can be roasted, grilled, or added to soups, salads, and wraps. While turkey is generally a healthy option, processed forms like deli meats or turkey bacon may contain added sodium and preservatives, which can be less beneficial. Opting for fresh, minimally processed turkey ensures you’re getting the most nutritional benefit from this delicious dietary staple.
