Benefits of Turkey in Wayland MI

Here are just a few:

  • Turkey is high in protein which helps maintain lean muscle mass and regulates the body’s insulin levels
  • Eating a high-protein meal helps the body feel full for a longer amount of time than a low-protein meal
  • It is low in fat (after removing the skin)
  • It contains less cholesterol than pork, beef, and chicken
  • It’s a good source of the trace mineral selenium which can lower than the incidence of cancer
  • It contains tryptophan which increases the production of serotonin (our HAPPY hormone) which in turn increases our mood, so turkeys really do make us happy!
