Let’s talk turkey


This phrase “to talk turkey” means to speak frankly and without reserve; to talk hard facts, to get down to business.  So Let’s Talk Turkey J
                                                                 
You Guessed it… Thanksgiving Turkey!

Protein is the building block of the body. A moderate 4-ounce serving of turkey has about 35 grams of high-quality protein, as well as lots of heart-healthy potassium, plenty of phosphorus, and small amounts of calcium, magnesium, and iron.
Four ounces of turkey breast meat has about 30 mcg of selenium and the dark meat has about 45 mcg! The RDI for selenium is 70 mcg, but 200 mcg is a good target for optimal health. The almighty mineral selenium is a powerful antioxidant and is associated with lower rates of cancer. Turkey is also a great source of niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and zinc
Turkey fat is mostly comprised of the heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and please understand that fat is not the enemy. Certain types of fat don’t serve us, but Turkey has happy fat!
