About Turkey, skin, from retail parts, from dark meat, cooked, roasted
This dark meat cut from a roasted bird offers a rich, savory flavor and a notably higher fat content compared to lighter meat portions. The skin-on preparation adds both texture and taste, though it also increases the overall calorie and fat content per serving. With nearly 25 grams of protein per 100 grams, it remains a solid source of this essential nutrient, supporting muscle maintenance and repair. The absence of carbohydrates and fiber makes it suitable for low-carb or ketogenic dietary patterns, but the elevated fat level—particularly from the skin—means portion control is important for those monitoring saturated fat intake.
In the kitchen, this cut is often used in hearty dishes where deep flavor is desired, such as stews, casseroles, or slow-cooked meals. The skin helps retain moisture during cooking, making it a favorite for roasting or braising. While it can be enjoyed on its own, pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables or whole grains can create a more balanced meal. For those seeking leaner options, removing the skin before eating can significantly reduce fat content without sacrificing the protein benefits.
