Turkey?

Shap Posts: 42 Joined: 2003/05/06	2003/09/03, 02:24 AM I have seen all kinds of info about steak and chicken, but nothing about turkey. One of my favorite lunch meals is peppered turkey on whole grain bread, I know it has protein, but does anyone know some more facts of how good it is for you, compared to chicken?

One word here, if it is not "real" turkey, the protein content is not too good, needless to say the preservatives and additives too. Processed lunch meats are very inferior protein sources. Real turkey is outstanding. Opt for real sliced turkey if you can. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

Then I jot them down on the wrapper of whatever I'm buying. That way I don't have to try and figure it out when I get home. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Then you can slice it and weigh it all at once and bag it in ready-to-eat portions. It turns out to be cheaper than deli-turkey (and prolly less sodium) and it sure smells like heaven when it is rosating. The hard part is cleaning upp the drool all over the house! :)
