Turkey is an excellent source of protein and can provide up to 24 grams of protein per a serving. Protein is an essential building block of your bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, hair, nails and blood.  Your body needs protein to heal from everyday wear and tear as well as relieve muscle aches and build muscle. It also packs a nutritional punch with high amounts of niacin, B6, and B12. It also contains zinc, selenium potassium, and phosphorus. Vitamin B-12 supports cellular functions such as dividing cells and breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy.  It helps your body build red blood cells which allows oxygen to be used by the body. Zinc is vital for a healthy immune system, correctly synthesizing DNA, and healing wounds.  Phosphorous forms and strengthens bones and teeth. It also helps produce ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.  Potassium helps to lower blood pressure and combat heart disease.  It also supports heart and muscle function and may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss.
