Health benefits:
Overall: this meal, like any autoimmune paleo recipe, assists in reducing inflammation of the gut, helps to heal the gastrointestinal tract, and more generally reduces overall inflammation.
Turkey: contains vitamin B12, which assists in red blood cell formation, and zinc and iron, which boost immunity. Also contains tryptophan which is an amino acid essential for the production and maintenance of the body’s proteins, muscles, enzymes, and neurotransmitters.
Apple cider vinegar: high in acetic acid, anti-bacterial, may help lower blood sugar levels, and may improve heart health.
