It’s that time of year – Turkey this and Turkey that. Good news! The health benefits of this bird are many. Turkey is an excellent source of Vitamin B and niacin. Light skinless roasted Turkey is low in saturated fat and high in protein. It contains less fat than chicken, beef, and pork.
Stick to the white meat if you’re watching your fat intake. Bake, broil, or grill using broth, lemon, or orange juice if basting.
There are so many great recipes to enjoy turkey.
