Turkey
Although the holidays are a prime time for turkey consumption, turkey is also a popular sandwich meat and ground beef alternative all year round. The tryptophan in turkey doesn't actually make you sleepy, despite what you've heard; tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning the body can’t make tryptophan on its own. We get it from foods, and it helps the body make serotonin, a key brain chemical involved in balancing your mood. Always look for organic and or grass-fed turkey whenever possible. Turkey should be free of hormones, nitrates, and antibiotics to be sure you're getting the healthiest meat available.
