Lastly, but certainly not least, we come to turkey breast. This lean meat is a great iodine source, providing a healthier alternative to red meats.

A three-ounce serving of roasted turkey breast can provide nearly 20% of the recommended daily iodine intake. This makes turkey a strong contender in the quest for iodine-rich foods.

Aside from iodine, turkey breast offers a high protein content. It’s also lower in saturated fat compared to many other meats, making it a healthier choice for those keeping an eye on their heart health.

Turkey breast is also packed with other essential nutrients, such as vitamins B6 and B12, niacin, and selenium. All these contribute to its status as a nutritious choice of meat. (10)
