Tasty, versatile and available in a variety of cuts, turkey is naturally low in fat and provides immune-boosting nutrients like iron, zinc and potassium. It\u2019s also packed with lean protein<\/a> to keep people feeling full longer and satisfy their appetite for health and fitness. Turkey also checks the box when it comes to three major consumer decisions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turkey is loaded with flavor, no matter how you prepare it. The dark meat, found in turkey legs, thighs and wings is especially succulent and flavorful. Turkey also drinks in whatever seasonings or marinades it\u2019s cooked with, making it a versatile choice in any cuisine. From the All-American turkey burger to turkey fajitas \u2013 or any one of our delicious recipes \u2013 turkey is today\u2019s unexpectedly flavorful protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many retail stores carry turkey cuts and value-added product, packaged individually and sized right for everyday meals. Turkey can also be used interchangeably with chicken with small adjustments in cooking time. Simply put, turkey is as easy to prepare and serve as any other poultry or meat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turkey is affordable, often lower priced than other center-plate protein alternatives. Whether you\u2019re a foodservice professional or cooking at home, you can enjoy turkey without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
