About Turkey, skin from whole (light and dark), with added solution, raw
This poultry product is a rich source of protein, providing 12.3 grams per 100-gram serving. However, it's notably high in fat, with 36.8 grams per 100 grams, most of which comes from the skin. The fat content contributes to its calorie density of 381 calories per 100 grams. It contains no carbohydrates or fiber, making it a purely protein and fat-based food. The high fat content, particularly saturated fat, should be considered when incorporating this into a balanced diet, especially for those monitoring their fat intake or managing cardiovascular health.
Commonly used as a flavor enhancer or in recipes where the skin's texture and taste are desired, this product is often found in traditional holiday dishes, particularly whole roasted preparations. The skin helps retain moisture during cooking and adds a crispy texture when properly prepared. While it can be enjoyed in moderation, many health-conscious cooks choose to remove the skin to reduce fat content. When used in cooking, it's important to note that the added solution mentioned in the description may affect sodium content and cooking behavior, potentially requiring adjustments to seasoning or cooking times in recipes.
