Turkey isn't just for the holiday season. Try the following ideas for incorporating turkey into your healthy eating habits
Include turkey in your meals throughout the year as a healthy substitute for red meat
Turkey is naturally high in protein and low in both fat and cholesterol, making it a great substitute for red meat (see chart below).
Turkey also provides selenium, vitamins B3 and B6, phosphorous, zinc and tryptophan – the amino acid that helps regulate sleep.
Whole turkey and turkey pieces (breasts, thighs and ground meat) allow for great meal creativity.
Enjoy turkey in soups, stews, casseroles, stir-fries, curries, wraps or burgers. Add shredded turkey breast to enchiladas; enjoy breaded and baked turkey breasts topped with tomato sauce and low-fat cheese; add sautéed lean ground turkey to spaghetti sauce, lasagna or chili; or enjoy leftover turkey in Mexican Turkey Soup.
