(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 10, 2014 ) London, England -- Sitting down to a roast turkey dinner is often associated with Thanksgiving in late November. As June is now established as National Turkey Month, it provides the perfect opportunity to savour the delicious taste and numerous health benefits of this native North American bird.
Turkey, in common with chicken, is a favourite with people on low-fat diets. A typical turkey consists of 70 per cent white meat, and this type of meat has less fat than dark meat. Without the skin, turkey contains just one gram of fat per ounce of flesh.
"Turkey is delicious and healthy but is often overlooked as a staple in our home cooking", says Monica Kaiser, Founder of Seraphina's Kitchen. "It is as versatile as chicken and can be used in burgers, stir-fries and casseroles".
Recent studies have shown that cooking poultry with the skin on seals in the natural juices and the fat from the skin does not seep into the meat. So, dieters can avoid dried-out skinless cuts and just remove the skin before eating. Light skinless roasted turkey has less saturated fat, less total fat and less cholesterol than chicken, pork or beef.
To avoid the dirty pans often associated with roasting meats a premium silicone baking mat from Seraphina's Kitchen can be used to stop the meat and roasting juices from baking onto the pan. Customers can save money while the baking mats (set of 2) are available at less than half price from Amazon.com.
Turkey is also a rich source of vitamin B6 and niacin, which are both essential for the body's energy production; it contains the amino acid tryptophan, which produces serotonin and plays an important role in strengthening the immune system; and it's a source of selenium, which is essential for thyroid hormone metabolism. Eating turkey regularly can also help lower cholesterol levels.
