You are both over-estimating your positions. The truth is somewhere
in-between.
Turkey is not 94% protein. It is 66.3% water, 29.2% protein, and 3.2% fat.
However, "greens or beans" do not contain more protein than turkey, unless
you count seaweed and soybeans. Seaweed, tofu, wheat gluten, soybeans,
nuts, and seeds. These easily beat most animal sources for protein.
