Turkey is a lean meat that is a rich source of protein, vitamin B6, B12 and zinc.
B vitamins - are important when it comes to getting energy from our food, along with helping in the formation of blood cells that carry oxygen around the body.
Zinc - helps boost that immune system, something that's particularly important throughout the winter months!
Turkey is also very low in fat, something which can contribute to maintaining good heart health and managing weight.
Note: When reheating leftover turkey, always make sure that its steaming hot all the way through before you eat it. Don’t reheat more than once.
