It's not only for Thanksgiving Dinner anymore. Many of you may not be aware of this, but did you know June is National Turkey Lovers' Month?!
According to the Virginia Department Of Consumer Services, this month is an absolutely ideal time to celebrate the delicious taste, versatility, high quality nutrition and cooking ease of one of their state's top products. Here are a few more interesting facts about this bird worth talkin' about at the water cooler throughout June:
- They may be known for their corn fields, but the state of Iowa is also home to more than 10.5 million turkeys, and ranks ninth nationally in turkey production.
- The impact of raising and processing turkeys on Iowa’s economy is so huge that it generates more than $1.5 billion every year.
- The turkey industry generates significant economic activity and employment opportunities in many states, according to the Director of the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers.
- Turkey Lovers' Month is a great time to fire up the grill and enjoy that great taste of turkey made possible by the farm families who had worked hard to put it on the tables across the country.
- Turkey can be served in a variety of ways for each meal of the day. It is definitely high in protein, which is important for building lean muscle mass and staying active. In fact, a three-ounce serving of boneless, skinless turkey breast contains a whopping 26 grams of protein, with only one gram of fat and ZERO saturated fat.
Here are some of the classic (and delicious!) turkey products from your friends at HoneyBaked Ham Douglasville we recommend you try in light of Turkey Lovers' Month:
