Eating More Fat

These are only some of the signs that your body does not have enough of the right kind of fats. Did you know that women should be 28% made up of fats? Men should be about 18% fat. 60% of our fat needs to be constantly replaced. This is why it is important to have fats in our diets throughout the day, every day.

Eating More Eggs

Eggs are an actual superfood, packed with protein, healthy fat, numerous vitamins, zinc, magnesium and more. Not only are they full of nutrients, these nutrients are also easy to digest. Raw egg yolks in particular are often equated with breastmilk in the ease of nutrient absorption basically without any digestion needing to be done first. For people with digestive issues, a food that needs almost no digestion in order to get the benefits is a huge win!

Why Is Everyone Talking About Zinc?

With talk of viruses so prevalent, many people have been introduced to the concept of zinc deficiency. However, this is not a new thing - in the 1930s zinc was found to be essential for humans. In the 1960s it was found that deficiency of zinc can cause several symptoms. More recently we have been finding more and more symptoms associated with zinc deficiency as the world seems in general very zinc deficient. Some estimates show that zinc is involved in more body functions than any other mineral.

The Best Roasted Wild Turkey

,

People either love or hate turkey. I don’t mind turkey although I definitely love recipes that make turkey more moist - and fatty!

Modern turkeys are bred for high amounts of muscle meat which is actually the least nutritious meat. In fact, eating meat too high in lean protein can lead to starvation symptoms because you need fat soluble vitamins, especially Vitamin A, to utilize proteins in your body. I’m excited to try this turkey, which is a ___ breed, because I’m hopeful it will give more proper ratios. It also likely will be needing special cooking care to keep it tender and that special care is usually adding plenty of fat.

If you need this to be dairy free, you could substitute a different fat than butter but butter just makes everything better.

A note about the fat on your bird: properly fed birds (like turkey & chicken) will have yellow colored fat! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 Wild Turkey (Mine was 8 lb. 13 oz.)

  • ½ Stick of Kerrygold Butter

  • Wild Rice Stuffing

Directions:

Coat turkey well with butter and place in a glass baking dish, breast side down. Cover with parchment paper and foil.

Place in the oven for 45-50 minutes. 

Decrease the oven temperature to 325 and bake for 2 ½ to 3 hours.

Remove the bird from the oven. Uncover and turn so the large opening of the cavity is face up. Add wild rice stuffing to the cavity of the bird.

Press the stuffing firmly into the cavity so it does not fall out. Turn the bird back over so it is again breast side down.

Cook for another 40 minutes with the cover on.  Remove the cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes to further brown the skin.

Carve and enjoy!

You can also pour off the gravy to enjoy with your bird.
