Description

Turkey scallops are thin slices or cutlets of turkey breast, carefully cut to facilitate quick and even cooking. This cut is ideal for recipes that require small, tender pieces, perfect for sautéing, breading, or grilling.

Turkey is a bird native to North America, highly valued for its lean meat and mild flavor, making it an excellent choice for healthy and versatile diets.

Among its properties, turkey scallops stand out as a rich source of high-quality protein, low in fat and cholesterol, and they also provide B-complex vitamins and minerals like zinc and phosphorus, which are beneficial for the immune system and bone health.

In the culinary world and in different regions of Latin America, turkey scallops may also be known as turkey fillets, turkey tenderloins, or simply turkey strips, although the term "scallops" is widely recognized when referring to thin, uniform cuts for quick preparation.
