Description

Low-sodium turkey broth is a flavorful and nutritious liquid obtained by simmering turkey bones, meat, and vegetables, specially formulated to contain a lower amount of salt. This broth is commonly used as a base for soups, stews, risottos, and sauces, providing a delicate and characteristic flavor without adding excessive sodium, making it ideal for low-salt diets or for people watching their sodium intake.

The origin of turkey broth is linked to traditional North American and European cuisines, where turkey is a common meat in celebrations and festive dishes. By utilizing turkey leftovers, such as bones and carcasses, this broth is made, concentrating its flavors and nutrients.

Regarding its properties, low-sodium turkey broth is rich in proteins, collagen, and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Furthermore, by having less sodium, it contributes to maintaining healthy blood pressure and is a lighter option for those looking to take care of their cardiovascular health. It also aids digestion and may help strengthen the immune system thanks to its minerals and amino acids.

This ingredient is known in Latin America by several synonyms that may vary by country, such as reduced-salt turkey broth, light turkey broth, or simply unsalted turkey broth. In some regions, it may also be called low-sodium turkey consommé.
