• The next time you make your famous chili recipe, why not add turkey instead of beef? You’ll significantly decrease the fat and calories of the recipe, and save money at the same time.
  
  
• Turkey isn’t just for Thanksgiving! Consider roasting a turkey breast in the oven or slow cooker at other times of year. Turkey can be substituted in casseroles, soups, and sandwiches.
