Thanksgiving’s Nutrition Superstars

The star of the Thanksgiving show is one of the leanest meats around. White meat turkey has long been recommended over dark because of its lower-calorie and -fat content, but the caloric difference between these two types of meat is actually very small. While dark meat does have a bit more fat than its white counterpart, it still stands out as a Thanksgiving superfood, thanks to its higher iron, zinc, and B-vitamin content.
