Description

Lean ground turkey is a minced meat obtained from turkey, characterized by its low fat content, making it a healthy and versatile option for various culinary preparations. This meat stands out for its soft texture and mild flavor, ideal for recipes that seek a balance between taste and nutrition.

Turkey is native to North America, where it was domesticated thousands of years ago. Currently, its consumption has become popular worldwide due to its protein value and low fat level compared to other red meats.

Regarding its properties, lean ground turkey is an excellent source of high-quality protein, B-complex vitamins (such as B3 and B6), and essential minerals like selenium and zinc. Furthermore, its low content of saturated fats makes it ideal for healthy diets and for those looking to control cholesterol.

In different Hispanic American countries, lean ground turkey may also be called desgrasada carne molida de pavo or simply ground turkey, although the term "lean" is useful to highlight its low-fat content in recipes.
