SAN FRANCISCO (GaeaTimes.com)- Today is the thanksgiving day and it is celebrated all over the USA with much gusto and enthusiasm. For the people of USA it is a celebration time when family reunions take place and family members share some moments of joy and togetherness with some yummy and sumptuous meals. Turkey is used as the main dish in Thanksgiving dinner by the majority of people on Thanksgiving day. It can be prepared in a number of ways but the roasted turkey with herb and vegetable stuffing is the commonest and most popular choice. The downside with the majority of turkey recipes is that they are rich in fat and calorie intake. Hence the yummy turkey roast may not be a healthy choice for the people who prefer health over the gratification of taste-buds. Luckily people are becoming more health conscious with time and they are exploring healthy food options during such celebrations. The food manufacturers have observed this rising trend and some of them have taken initiative to introduce low salt healthier alternatives. Butterball turkey deserves a mention in this context.

Butterball turkey has declared that it will introduce low salt variants of some of its popular foods. This is a voluntary move taken by the company. The medical associations as well as health entities have been campaigning for some time so that the food manufacturers reduce salt in their products. This will help consumers in leading a healthier life.

New York health department has taken the move by Butterball turkey in a positive note. The company also has a helpline for guiding the homemakers in making Turkey the right way.
