Canadian Turkey

Choosing Canadian turkey for your meals makes your job super-easy. It is a protein-packed staple, for a 100 gram serving it provides about 30 grams of high quality lean protein. 

Turkey also packs in nutrients like B12, selenium and zinc. Putting turkey on your plate will therefore give your kids and you the energy to get through a busy afternoon or evening. 

So much is going on with back-to-school that we need all the energy we can get. Try this recipe too for Big Crunch Oven Baked Turkey Tenders.

Turkey is a delicious option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  You can serve it hot or cold, and it tastes great the next day, too!
