India Celebrates Turkey Lover's Month | ||
New Delhi, Delhi, India Nature has provided us ample variety of sources of protein-both from plant and animal- but not all proteins are the same. It is very important to choose the right protein that will serve our body the most. Poultry that are bred on good nutrition are considered to be among the best of proteins because of easy absorption. And among the lean meats Turkey meat is at the top of the rank. Thus to remind us the best of proteins, the month of June is dedicated to Turkey and celebrated as #TurkeyLover’sMonth!

But what is so special about Turkey, you may ask?
As a basic building block of our body protein has always got maximum attention from the avid nutrition and fitness conscious. Considered a mandatory part of our meals, our body cannot store protein and thus must be replenished every day. Among the poultry meats Turkey has a major advantage of low fat and negligible carbohydrate content. Did you know Turkey provides all nine essential amino acids which are needed by human body for growth and repair? It also provides the very important B Vitamins, and adds selenium, zinc, phosphorus and iron to the body.
Turkey is one great fowl that has been decorating the feasts of celebratory dinner and ceremonies since centuries! Native to America, it is a big bird, thus perfect for a huge family feast and to satisfy hunger of a large gathering. History suggests the bird got its interesting name because of the incorrect identification when it was thought to have been brought via merchant ships from the Middle East. Turkey is recognizable by its snood, the pale red fleshy protuberance in its forehead. An aggressive bird, first domesticated by the Mexicans many centuries ago, Turkey is now a very popular poultry dish, highly adaptable and versatile. Turkey meat can be relished as a daily fare and does not need to be restricted to bigger meals alone. Grilled, roasted, smoked, braised, seared-with Turkey all kinds of experiments of cooking and seasoning can be done to great effect. Turkey cooked with juices and herbs create a very tasty and nutritious meal. The meat’s texture is such that it absorbs flavours very nicely and can be relished as simple soup or sandwiches as well.
To mark the month let us maximize the inclusion of Turkey. The following recipe shared is one such to celebrate good health and cheer.
