Verdaderamente deliciosos los dos, en mi país no se consigue el pavo, el ave de mayor consumo es el pollo, @etcmike
Chicken is very good. I picked up some marinated skinless chicken breasts from the local butcher on Friday. I plan to have chicken this week then turkey this weekend. I am trying to maintain a healthy diet. It is easier to do when there are delicious dishes you can make with healthy foods.
Have a great week!

Good helth information
Definitely, would go for the Skinless Turkey Breast! It's expensive here in Malaysia though, and I've always thought it offer more protein compared to Chicken. But chicken has slightly more protein I guess, but also the double the Fat

If I may choose one, I prefer the "Skinless Turkey Breast" look more smooth texture of the meat, and look more delicious... 😋👍
Skinless Turkey Breast gets my vote too. I substitute skinless turky breast for skinless chicken breast when I make Tandoori Chicken Tikka, I call it Tandoori Turkey Tikka (TTT).
Have a great week!
Steem on,
