About I cup turkey
Turkey, a lean and protein-rich meat, is a nutritious choice often associated with American cuisine, particularly traditional Thanksgiving feasts. One cup of turkey, either roasted or skinless, provides approximately 40 grams of protein, essential for muscle repair and overall growth. It also contains vital nutrients like vitamin B6, niacin, selenium, and phosphorus, which support metabolism, immunity, and bone health. Turkey has a relatively low fat content, especially when the skin is removed, making it a heart-healthy option compared to fattier meats. However, preparation matters; opting for roasted or baked turkey instead of fried minimizes added fats. Sodium levels can be high in processed turkey products, such as deli slices or cured options, so fresh turkey is preferable for a healthier diet. Low in carbohydrates and versatile in preparation, turkey serves as a wholesome ingredient in meals for those seeking balanced nutrition.
