Every fall, the culinary spotlight falls on turkey. But there’s more to turkey than just cranberries and gravy. (Although that particular flavor combination is a classic for a very yummy reason.)
Turkey is amassing a new set of fans each day — and with good reason. It’s a lean source of protein, low in fat, rich in nutrients such as selenium and phosphorus, and it boasts an assortment of the coveted B vitamins. Not to mention the fact that it’s downright tasty. Topping the list of turkey’s bragging rights is versatility. Consider turkey burgers alone. Check out the following recipes and see how well they pair with everything from guacamole to kimchi.
From summer grilling to holiday feasts to school sandwiches, there’s more than one delicious reason to keep turkey in your daily, year-round diet rotation.
