Turkey is almost the only type of meat that is recommended for a healthy diet. It's all about its rich composition, the absence of a fat layer and a small amount of cholesterol. In addition, it is a very tasty product from which you can prepare a lot of healthy dishes for the whole family.

Benefits and harms

Turkey meat is easily digestible by the human body, and its high protein content makes it the main ingredient in a sports menu. The microelements included in this product support the full functioning of the body; one serving provides a person with 60% of the daily requirement of vitamins.

Therefore, after eating a small piece of turkey, the body feels full for a long time. The vitamins contained in the pulp provide energy for the whole day, improve mood, relieve insomnia, and develop memory and attention.

However, it is worth remembering that turkey skin contains fat that is harmful to the body, and therefore fillet or skinless meat is more suitable for the diet menu.

This type of meat can only cause harm to people with individual intolerance, as well as those who suffer from kidney failure and urolithiasis. By the way, as part of a healthy diet, you should not overuse turkey, as the liver may not be able to handle so much protein.

Use for PP

In nutrition, turkey is valued for maintaining its incredible benefits and juicy taste even after heat treatment. Naturally, with proper nutrition, you should give up dishes fried in oil. But don’t despair, this meat has a rich taste and no harmful carcinogenic crust. At the same time, you can use it to prepare both the first and second courses, as well as a salad.

With a healthy diet, do not forget that turkey served with mayonnaise will not achieve results. As a side dish, you should use steamed vegetables, vegetable salads, boiled rice and buckwheat.

Any spice can be used for turkey meat, but one of the most useful is turmeric, which also goes well with poultry.

You can make a light soup from turkey for lunch without frying it, make a vegetable stew in a pressure cooker for dinner, or use this meat for a light salad with low-fat yogurt sauce. The turkey itself can be boiled, steamed, in a slow cooker, pressure cooker, or oven. Especially supporters of a healthy diet prefer the latter option.
