Turkey
Also called: turkey breast, pute
A lean poultry — the least heavy of the common meats, so it does not add to Kapha.
How Turkey affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Vata. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Kapha. |
When to go easy
Lean and a touch dry, and still a warming flesh food that can tell on Pitta.
