Turkey? I also hesitated, after the information I had received and the recipes - I adopted lovingly.
In my kitchen we usually go into chicken, in all shapes and sizes, minced, sliced, market and more ...
But I was invited to a cooking workshop in India, at first I was skeptical and not closed about what I was going to study and as the minutes and hours went by I fell in love with taste and recipes.
What's more, I discovered that turkey is enriched with iron, contains protein, amino acid of B12 and iron.

? Iron - about 1.4 milligrams when the recommendations for daily adult consumption is 8 mg daily (note that the recommendation for women of reproductive age is 18 mg a day). In addition, studies show that animal iron is better absorbed than iron from plant.
? Another important ingredient that India has in large quantities is selenium. 29-38 micrograms per 100 g, compared with 20-24 micrograms in poultry and 30-35 micrograms per morning, with the recommended intake for adults being 55 micrograms per day.lenium plays an important role in the human body, it is necessary in protecting DNA, acts as an antioxidant, To help prevent cancer, to prevent cardiovascular disease, to maintain healthy thyroid and brain function.
Molly Levitt, CEO of the Poultry Council : "In light of global processes promoting lean meat consumption, the Poultry Council continues to lead a move to promote turkey consumption.
