But did you know turkey also packs in some other nutrients the\nbody needs that may be less familiar?  Turkey\nis a great source of the trace mineral, chromium, which is necessary to enhance\nthe body\u2019s ability to break down sugars and carbohydrates and maintain blood\npressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The National Institute of Health<\/a> reports the average adult needs between 25-35 micrograms (mcg) of chromium each day. One three-ounce serving of turkey breast can provide approximately 2 mcg of chromium, making turkey a great option to incorporate these essential nutrients into your everyday diet. Chromium is also commonly found in foods such as broccoli, green beans, potatoes and whole grain products, all which pair nicely with a hearty turkey meal! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
