(HealthDay News) -- Poultry is a great source of protein, but you still have to choose healthier cuts and prepare it properly.

The American Academy of Family Physicians advises:

Opt for skinless poultry, and stir-fry or pan-broil it.Roast, bake or broil poultry over frying.Skip butter or margarine and use a cooking spray in a nonstick pan.Trim fat and pull off skin before cooking.Opt for breasts, which are protein-rich but low in fat.Choose chicken over goose or duck, which are higher in fat.
