Recipe Tip

RECIPE TIP

Turkey is a Nutritional Powerhouse.

It’s packed with protein. Each 100-gram serving has about 30 grams of high quality protein to help you feel energized and satisfied, and to help keep your bones and muscles healthy and happy. Its also lean and naturally low in sodium. Find out more at canadianturkey.ca/nutrition.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bone is a living tissue, that is constantly renewing and repairing itself from everyday wear and tear.  However, like many nutrients, calcium is absorbed less effectively as we age.  Try out our calcium calculator to see if you are getting enough in your daily diet.
