About Turkey thigh
Turkey thigh is a flavorful and juicy cut of dark meat that’s prized for its richness and versatility. This protein-packed meat is a staple in various cuisines, including American, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes, where it’s roasted, braised, or grilled to highlight its tender texture. Nutritionally, turkey thigh is an excellent source of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins (particularly B6 and niacin), which support energy metabolism and immune health. While slightly higher in fat and calories compared to turkey breast, its fat content includes heart-healthy unsaturated fats that help maintain satiety. High in protein and free from carbohydrates, turkey thigh is a favorable option for keto or low-carb diets. However, the fattier composition means portion control is key for those managing calorie or cholesterol intake. Packed with flavor and nutrients, turkey thigh is a well-rounded choice for nutritious and delicious meals.
