The phrase under consideration refers to culinary preparations adhering to the principles of the Paleolithic diet, where ground turkey serves as the primary protein source. These dishes exclude grains, legumes, dairy, processed sugars, and refined oils, focusing instead on lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. For instance, a shepherd’s pie variation using mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes and ground turkey as the filling exemplifies this category of food preparation.
Such dietary approaches may contribute to improved satiety due to the high protein content and fiber from vegetables. Furthermore, excluding processed foods aligns with strategies for managing blood sugar levels and reducing inflammation. Historically, the interest in this style of cooking stems from a desire to emulate the eating patterns of early humans, theorized to be more aligned with human physiology.
