Turn to Turkey for Grilling Season

Laura McNamara

The National Turkey Federation wants the 85 million American households that are equipped with an outdoor grill to choose turkey this summer. The organization says turkey is a healthier source of protein.

The National Barbecue Association says 31 percent of American grill owners are barbecuing more than they were a year ago, because they are “trying to eat healthier.” Many are turning to turkey as a protein option. A three-ounce serving of boneless, skinless turkey breast contains 26 grams of protein, one gram of fat and no saturated fat.
