SHADY BROOK FARMS® TURKEY MEANS LEAN PROTEIN FOR YOU.

Skinless turkey breast is one of the leanest meats available with one of the highest amounts of protein.

A four-ounce serving contains 26 grams of protein, about one gram of fat and zero grams of saturated fat.

Comparatively, skinless turkey breast has 12 percent more protein than the same size serving of boneless skinless chicken breast.

Turkey is rich in vitamins and minerals. It contains all of the B vitamins, especially B6 and B12 which help our bodies convert food into energy. An abundance of minerals are found in turkey, such as immune boosting zinc, selenium and iron.

Turkey also contains the amino acid tryptophan, which is commonly known to make you sleepy after your Thanksgiving meal. But did you know that tryptophan also helps the body produce serotonin, which has a calming effect and contributes to a happy mood?

At Shady Brook Farms®, we are proud to give you delicious juicy turkey that’s packed with protein and perfect for any family meal.
