Is Thanksgiving Turkey Healthy?
How healthy is turkey? And what boosts or decreases its nutritional value? I shared my thoughts on the holiday bird in this piece for HuffPo:
“While frying a turkey may seem like the method to avoid, the related safety risks are much more of a concern than the nutritional content itself,” Feller said. “The risk of fire and explosion are common among amateurs, and if adequate oil temperatures are not maintained, your turkey may become overly saturated with oil. Just as with any meat, be sure to cook your bird until a safe internal temperature is reached.” (That’s about 165 degrees Fahrenheit for turkey.)
