Turkey Breast

Turkey is also considered a type of poultry, just like chicken. It is a source of high-quality protein and can be very healthy depending on where it comes from. Try to buy natural turkey breast and try to avoid processed turkey because it is a source of extra sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fatty acids.

100 grams of turkey breast contain close to 29 grams of protein. Similar to chicken, turkey includes zero sugar, carbohydrates, and fiber. It has minimal fats, and the protein promotes muscle maintenance and growth.
