Benefits

Turkey is the unsung hero of lean protein—versatile, mild and great for everything. From Thanksgiving roasts to weeknight turkey burgers or deli slices in a lunch box, it’s a staple in my house. My kids like it in taco form, I like it ground in a big ol’ chili. Not only is it yummy, but it’s also a nutrient powerhouse that keeps you full and energized. And it’s a great way to keep meals light without sacrificing flavor! Here are the benefits:

  1. Lean Protein: 28g of protein to support muscle and keep you full.
  2. Low Fat: Great for those who want protein without extra calories or saturated fat.
  3. B Vitamins: B6 and B12 for energy and brain health.
  4. Immune Boost: Zinc and selenium to keep your immune system strong.
  5. Heart Healthy: Low sodium (when unprocessed) and cholesterol.
