26 of the Best High Protein Foods

5. Turkey Breast

Turkey breast has practically the same amount of protein (29 grams protein per 100 grams of roasted turkey) as chicken breast, but with fewer calories and dietary cholesterol. Comparing the two, the nutritional values are similar enough that it comes down to flavor preference. Turkey has a firmer texture with a more distinct taste than chicken. Like all meats, turkey breast is a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids including tryptophan, which helps regulate sleep.
