<\/span>Dark meats has more zinc, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, B12, amino acids, AND iron!!<\/span>
<\/span>Take THAT, you dry, flavorless, white meat! <\/span>
<\/span>In turkey specifically, dark meat contains more vitamin A, K, B6 and 12, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. <\/span>
<\/span>The only down side to dark meat is that it is richer than it’s dry, flavorless, white meat cousin. But, even at that, the difference is not massive — you get about 40 more calories in a 1-cup serving of dark meat, as compared to white meat. 40 calories comes to only about 2% of your total estimated daily calorie intake, leaving you 98% more for your pumpkin pie!! <\/span><\/p>\n![\"Will](\"https:\/\/mlcmmqmgggev.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.willclower.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/WillClowerAudicles.4.gif?w=735&ssl=1\")
