NUTRITIONAL VALUE
The nutritional value of turkey depends to a large extent on the cut. The dark meat tends to have more vitamins and minerals but also more fat and calories than the white breast meat, which contains slightly more protein. Turkey is high in B Vitamins and phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc. It can be low in saturated fat and cholesterol if you avoid the skin. Turkey is also loaded with tryptophan, a sleep-inducing amino acid.
