Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Turkey Thigh

Metabolic Effect: Turkey thigh is rich in protein, helping you stay full for longer and supporting muscle development. The amino acids it contains contribute to the body's energy production and boost metabolism.
Consumption Recommendation: You can bake, grill, or boil turkey thigh. Consuming it with a large green salad or vegetables can increase its nutritional value. You can enrich its flavor by flavoring it with lemon juice and spices.
Things to Consider: Although turkey thigh is a lean protein source, it is important to pay attention to portion control. Excessive consumption can tire the kidneys due to high protein intake. A serving of turkey thigh should be about the size of a palm.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from 100 grams of turkey thigh, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 20 minutes. Alternatively, 15 minutes of brisk running or 25 minutes of cycling will have the same effect.
