A skinless turkey breast is healthier

Turkey is the real star of the show so you can’t really avoid it, but you can prepare it in a healthier way. Turkey meat is a healthier choice of protein and contains other important nutrients. It is also relatively low in fats and calories. Turkey breast has fewer calories and fat than the other parts of the bird. Removing the skin can make it a leaner meal high in protein and your guests are welcome to chomp down a few extra slices without feeling guilty. High-protein turkey keeps the stomach fuller longer and can help prevent overeating. Your weight-watcher guests are going to love you for this!
