With Christmas fast approaching we’re making up our grocery lists and checking them twice! Of course, some Alberta Turkey will be on the list not only for the Christmas meals but other meals too. We’re big turkey fans in this house and here are 4 reasons to choose Turkey this holiday season!
4 Reasons To Choose Turkey This Holiday Season
It’s Versatile
Planning for meals over the holidays also means planning for every meal because who wants to go grocery shopping over the holidays amiright? As a family that’s pretty big on turkey, some of our favourite dishes include:
- Turkey bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches
- Turkey meatballs & spaghetti
- Turkey burger with goat cheese and cranberries
Not only is it lean and juicy it’s also a versatile meat that works with many different flavors, which is also an easy substitute for dishes that use ground beef, ground chicken, or ground pork in their recipes.
It’s Easy On The Wallet
Yes – Alberta Turkey is a budget-friendly option! When it comes to turkey it’s a lot of meat for what equals out to pennies per pound. Roast turkeys can be made just because and other smaller cuts are available so that you can buy only what you need. As a family of 5, our 3 kids are bottomless pits and being able to save money without having to sacrifice quality is the best of both worlds!
