Turkey
Turkey is a type of meat that comes from the turkey bird, which is native to North America. It is a popular ingredient in many dishes, known for its lean meat and rich flavour. Turkey is commonly consumed during festive occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
To make turkey meat, turkeys are raised on farms specifically for their meat. They are fed a diet of grains and allowed to roam in open spaces. When they reach the desired weight, they are humanely slaughtered, and the meat is processed for distribution to stores and restaurants. Turkey meat can be sold fresh, frozen, or in processed forms like deli slices or sausages.
Turkey appears on food labels as an ingredient in various products such as sandwiches, salads, soups, and ready meals. It is often used in place of chicken in recipes, providing a different taste and texture. Turkey is valued for being a good source of protein while being lower in fat compared to some other meats, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.
