Description

Lean turkey breast is the front, boneless part of the turkey, characterized by its low fat content and high protein content. It is a highly valued cut in cooking as a healthy and versatile option for preparing a wide variety of dishes, from roasts and stews to salads and sandwiches.

Turkeys are native to North America, where they were domesticated thousands of years ago by indigenous civilizations. Today, their meat is consumed all over the world, especially in diets focused on health and weight control.

Lean turkey breast stands out as an excellent source of high-quality protein, with low amounts of saturated fat and calories. It also contains B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and vitamin B6, and minerals like zinc and phosphorus, which contribute to the proper functioning of the body.

In different Hispanic American countries, lean turkey breast may also be known as lomo de pavo or simply pechuga de pavo, although the term "lean" specifies that it is the part with no visible fat, ideal for healthy preparations.
