You don’t need to wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas to eat turkey — you can have it every week if you like! Turkey meat is rich in high-quality protein and has lower calories than beef. Turkey meat is great if you’re watching your weight or want to eat healthy. In fact, if you’d want to stay healthy, you can substitute pork and meat recipes with turkey meat. If you don’t have turkey meat, you can substitute it with chicken breasts or chicken thighs, too. Which is how I decided to make this Spicy Turkey Breasts recipe for a family dinner.

A Few Words About Turkey
Turkey is high in protein and is considered lean meat no matter the cut. Turkey breasts or meat is packed with nutrients such as potassium, selenium, niacin, and B vitamins. Niacin, in particular, helps boost a person’s metabolism by turning fat and sugar into energy. Perfect for those who opt for a low carb diet.
