Ontario Turkey Makes It Super
Looking for some healthier dinner ideas for your family after a summer of burgers and dogs? Think turkey for a change. It’s not just for the holiday season.
Did you know that skinless turkey breast is one the leanest meat protein sources on the planet, with a rich array of nutrients such as niacin, selenium, vitamins B6, B12, and zinc? That makes it an official superfood*. We found four great ways to serve it up for your family, as well as some nutritional info and more recipes at makesitsuper.ca.
