Usually you see turkey as part of Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, but the health benefits of turkey make it an excellent source for your weekly and monthly nutritional profile.

Just like Chick-fil-A has cows promoting the consumption of chicken maybe we need an ad campaign of pigs promoting turkey consumption.

Turkey provides both dark and white meat (I prefer the dark meat) with most people preferring white meat. Given that, here is the nutritional value of 1 cup (140 grams or 5 ounces) of turkey:

Calories: 220

Protein: 42 grams

Thiamin: 6% of RDI (Reference Daily Intake)

Riboflavin: 11% of RDI

Niacin: 48% of RDI

Vitamin B6: 38% of RDI

Vitamin B12: 9% of RDI

Calcium: 3% of RDI

Iron: 10% of RDI

Magnesium: 10% of RDI

Phosphorus: 31% of RDI

Potassium: 12% of RDI

Zinc: 19% of RDI

Selenium: 64% of RDI

Glycemic Load: 0

That’s a pretty good nutritional profile. Here are the health benefits of turkey based on this nutritional profile. Read More →
