Turkey Breast Nutrition Facts
Lean, versatile poultry with outstanding niacin and selenium.
About Turkey Breast
Turkey breast is one of the leanest meats you can buy, with even less fat than chicken breast. It is an excellent source of niacin and selenium, and provides a complete amino acid profile for muscle building and repair. Turkey also contains tryptophan, though the post-Thanksgiving drowsiness is more likely from overeating than the amino acid itself.
