This infographic reviews the health benefits of eating wild turkey.* Nothing tastes sweeter than having something you hunted on your table for your loved ones to enjoy. During turkey season, you have a chance to harvest your own wild turkey, which is much healthier than its domesticated counterparts. Even store-bought turkey has plenty of benefits for us. It's a great source of lean protein. But there's a vast difference between eating wild turkey and eating a domesticated one, as explained in the Epic Wilderness blog's infographic below, which helps us to explore [the health benefits of turkey](http://www.epicwilderness.com/infographic-health-benefits-of-eating-turkey/). For further reading, take a look at Rethink:Rural's article, [9 Healthy Reasons To Eat Wild Game](https://rethinkrural.raydientrural.com/blog/9-healthy-reasons-to-eat-wild-game), which is one of the sources for this great overview of ways eating turkey from the wild is good for you: ![Eating Wild Turkey Health Benefits.jpg](https://rethinkrural.raydientrural.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Photos/Infographics/Eating%20Wild%20Turkey%20Health%20Benefits.jpg?width=700&height=3046&name=Eating%20Wild%20Turkey%20Health%20Benefits.jpg)   ![John Lewis](https://rethinkrural.raydientrural.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Photos/Writer_Mugs/John%20Lewis.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=John%20Lewis.jpg) John Lewis John Lewis is the man behind the blog Epic Wilderness, an information resource about hunting, fishing, survival, hiking and all things outdoors.
