How Eating Turkey Can Help You Achieve and Keep a Healthy Weight
Happy Thanksgiving Week
For many people in North America, the Thanksgiving feast is incomplete without a turkey.
Turkeys are usually roasted in an oven; sometimes, they are smoked or deep-fried.
Gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce are commonly served alongside turkey. In television and film, turkey is often depicted as a traditional Thanksgiving dish filled with all the trimmings.
However, many other countries do not traditionally eat turkey for Thanksgiving.
In some regions, such as Mexico and Italy, turkey is not even considered a traditional Christmas dish.
As the global popularity of turkey continues to grow, it will become increasingly commonplace on tables around the world during holiday celebrations.
Turkey is a compound food considered highly nutritious because it offers some nutrition from each food group. Turkey meat is appropriate for several cooking dishes and is usually prepared without hassle.
