Talking Turkey for Thanksgiving | What’s in Turkey
What's in Your Turkey? Every thanksgiving and Christmas we gather around with family and friends and typically talk and eat turkey. So what are we actually eating in turkey? Dark turkey meat typically contains more vitamins and minerals than white turkey meat but also more fat and calories. Pasture-raised turkeys typically have higher omega-3 content than factory-farmed turkeys. Removing the skin of a turkey also removes much of the fat content. Eating high protein food like mean helps you to feel satisfied and less hungry for longer. Most of the fat in turkey is in the skin, so remove the skin for a leaner meal.
