Smoked turkey is a good call! Leaner than most meats, and still protein-packed ..Just watch the salt content smoked stuff can be salty .. Way better than fried though!

Yes, smoked turkey can be a healthy option as it is lean and high in protein, just be mindful of added sodium and preservatives .

The turkey breast that has been smoked still has the protein punch, but keep an eye open for sodium and nitrates. In contrast to deep-frying or roasting, smoking will probably make it slightly less fatty, which is a plus if you aim to make things lean.
