Comparative Food Values in Beef and Turkey
The Lancet notes weight for weight turkey flesh is more nourishing than beef, yet beef is cheaper. Beef moisture runs high, turkey moisture is lower, and turkey has more protein. Poultry fibers are lean, short, and less fat permeating muscles, affecting digestion. Fat in beef is more digestible than in turkey, while bird fat can rancidify and worsen digestion. Beef extractives provide strong flavor and gastric stimulation, unlike poultry.
