Health benefits of eating Turkey

Protein: Turkey offers an excellent source of lean protein. A 113 gram serving of turkey offers about 65% of your daily recommended protein while providing you with nearly half the saturated fat found in red meat. 75 grams serving of skinless white meat contains 25 grams of protein, barely 3 grams of fat, and less than 1 gram of saturated fat.

Low in fat: Not just for holidays, people are reaching for turkey throughout the entire year as turkey is a healthier alternative to ground beef and other red meats and can be replaced in familiar recipes (burgers, chili, lasagna, casseroles) for a low-fat option for you and your family.

Vitamin B: A great source of niacin and Vitamin B6, two important vitamins necessary for energy production. Niacin helps to convert fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into usable energy while also assisting in blood sugar regulation.

Selenium rich: An important trace mineral like selenium can be found in turkey. Selenium has been linked to cancer prevention.

Arginine: An essential amino, arginine acid can be found in turkey.
