  • DID YOU KNOW? A 3 1/2-ounce portion of turkey is about the size and thickness of a new deck of cards. Breast meat without the skin comes in at 161 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 30 grams of protein. An excellent low calorie choice that is packed with good-for-you protein!!

I absolutely adore turkey sandwiches the next day after you've had a roasted turkey. The one with the sprouts looks delish! It's lunch -- think I only have bologna in the fridge. Dag nab it.
