Stuffed Turkey - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Stuffed Turkey

• Metabolic Effect: Stuffed turkey is rich in protein thanks to the turkey meat it contains, and contributes to the development of muscles. However, the rice and spices in the filling can quickly raise blood sugar.
• Consumption Recommendation: You can help balance blood sugar by consuming stuffed turkey with plenty of fibrous vegetables. You can also prefer skinless turkey meat to reduce the amount of fat in the filling.
• Things to Consider: Stuffed turkey requires portion control due to its high carbohydrate content. It is important for especially diabetic patients to consume it carefully. One medium-sized stuffed turkey is equivalent to about one slice of bread.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one medium-sized stuffed turkey, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, 7 minutes of brisk running or 12 minutes of cycling will have the same effect.
