About Turkey, young hen, light meat, meat only, raw

Turkey is a large poultry bird native to North America and the centerpiece of Thanksgiving and holiday tables, though it is enjoyed year-round. Its meat is sold whole for roasting or broken down into breasts, thighs, drumsticks, and wings, and ground turkey is a popular lean alternative to ground beef. Turkey is an excellent source of high-quality protein, selenium, and B vitamins while being relatively low in fat, especially the lighter breast meat, with the darker leg and thigh meat richer, juicier, and more flavorful.

Beyond the roasted holiday bird, turkey is sliced for sandwiches, ground for burgers, chili, tacos, and meatballs, and smoked or cured into deli meat, bacon, and sausage. Because the lean breast can dry out, it is often brined or dry-brined before roasting, and cooking legs and breast to their right temperatures keeps the whole bird juicy. Use a thermometer to cook it through safely, then let it rest before carving so the juices redistribute.

Leftovers keep well for sandwiches, soups, and casseroles.
