Nutritional values

Instead of pork, this healthier goulash utilizes braised lean turkey. Turkey contains large amounts of zinc, iron, niacin, and protein. This combination has a positive effect on blood and iron levels and is particularly beneficial during pregnancy and menopause.

This protein-rich dish still needs some complex carbohydrates for a better distribution of nutrients. Simply try adding boiled potatoes or whole-wheat noodles.
