About Turkey, drumstick, from whole bird, meat only, raw
This poultry cut is a lean source of high-quality protein, providing over 23 grams per 100-gram serving with minimal fat content. It's naturally low in carbohydrates and contains no dietary fiber, making it suitable for low-carb and ketogenic dietary patterns. The meat is rich in essential nutrients including B vitamins (particularly niacin and B6), selenium, and phosphorus, which support energy metabolism and cellular function. Its low calorie density makes it an excellent choice for those managing weight or seeking to increase protein intake without excess calories.
In culinary applications, this cut is versatile and can be prepared through various cooking methods including roasting, grilling, baking, or slow-cooking.

It's commonly used in holiday meals, shredded for sandwiches and salads, or incorporated into soups and stews. When preparing this cut, it's important to cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety, as with all poultry products.
