Benefits of Turkey

Thanksgiving is a time for appreciating all you have with family and friends over a meal. Most people buy Turkey for Thanksgiving, however some buy other meats. Regardless of what meat you buy, friends and family are gathered for the same common meaning: giving thanks.

Yesterday, I took part in eating a beautiful bird, Turkey! We learned the best way to make a moist bird is to keep it in your fridge (never freeze) or like us, buy it on Wednesday.

A lot of people don’t realize the great benefits that Turkey has on them. Turkey contains:

• Amino Acid

• Protein: 32 grams protein in every 4 ounces (1/2 cup)

• Selenium: healthy function of thyroid and immune system

• Vitamin B: 36% daily allowance of vitamin B3, 27% daily allowance B6 which helps blood sugar levels

• Less Saturated Fat: Less than 12% recommended daily allowance of saturated fat per 4-ounce serving

• Turkey does all this plus aids in cancer prevention.

-> So when you decide what leftovers you want to indulge on, don’t pick pie, pick the Turkey.
