About Lean turkey meat

Lean turkey meat is a protein-packed option that is low in fat and calories, making it a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. Originating from North America, turkey has long been a staple in American cuisine, often featured in traditional dishes like roasts and sandwiches. Lean turkey meat is rich in essential nutrients, including B vitamins like niacin and B6, selenium, and phosphorus, which support energy metabolism and immune health. Its lower fat content compared to red meats makes it beneficial for heart health, and it is a complete protein, ideal for muscle maintenance and growth. While it is versatile and found in various global cuisines, from Mediterranean turkey kebabs to Asian stir-fries, it’s important to watch for added sodium in processed turkey products such as deli slices. Overall, lean turkey is a nutritious and adaptable ingredient for a balanced diet.
