The healthiest poultry to eat in the world is skinless chicken or even turkey breast.

Turkey breast and skinless chicken are the healthiest as they are high in protein and relatively low in calories and fat.

When eating poultry that is the healthiest you wan to stick with lean cuts of poultry that are prepared with minimal added fat.

Removing the skin from the chicken and turkey also significantly reduces the fat content which makes it healthier.

And both chicken and turkey are great sources of protein, that is essential for building and repairing tissues.

Turkey and chicken also provide essential vitamins and minerals, which include selenium, zinc and B vitamins.

Chicken and turkey are also versatile ingredients which can be used in a wide variety of dishes.

For the healthiest meat you should choose white meat, most particularly chicken breast which tends to be leaner than dark meat.

And baking the chicken and other meats or grilling of the chicken and meats or poaching are also healthier cooking methods instead of frying.

Also limit the amount of added fat such as from butter and oils during cooking and if possible choose organic or pasture raised poultry and other meats as they have a better nutritional profile and are also raised in more humane conditions.
