Are you turkeymaxxing this Thanksgiving?
The US gobbles up more than 46 million turkeys on the holiday each year, with nearly 9 in 10 Americans expected to pile the bird onto their plates Thursday.
But not all poultry is created equal. The Post spoke with Stephanie Schiff , a registered dietitian nutritionist at Northwell Huntington Hospital , to find out how to get the most nutritional bang from your bird — you can thank us later.
But first: Is turkey good for you?
“I love turkey any time of year,” Schiff said. “It’s high in protein, low in saturated fat and high in B vitamins.”
Turkey also packs tryptophan , an essential amino acid your body can’t make. It helps produce serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone, which is converted to melatonin to regulate sleep.
But don’t blame
