U.S. turkey provides protein of the highest quality. A 3-ounce portion of turkey provides over half of the daily requirement. In addition, it is a great source for vitamin “A” as well as iron, phosphorus, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, zinc, potassium and small amounts of calcium.

There are hundreds of ways to cook a turkey for special occasions and family gathering. The greatest challenge for a successful turkey is to avoid over-dryness. Choose the cooking technique you desired; just make sure it is a safe one. Marinating enhances the flavor and tenderness of turkey. Prepare a marinade by combining any collection of herbs, spices, pepper, garlic, oil, salt with an acid such as lemon juice, yogurt or vinegar. Always refrigerate the turkey during the marinating process and do not serve the leftover marinade unless it is cooked first.
