About Turkey, whole, giblets, cooked, simmered
This nutrient-dense poultry option is particularly rich in high-quality protein, offering nearly 26 grams per 100-gram serving. It's also an excellent source of several essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, and zinc. The iron content supports healthy blood oxygen transport, while zinc plays a vital role in immune function and wound healing. With zero carbohydrates and fiber, it fits well into low-carb and ketogenic eating patterns. The fat content is moderate at 6.6 grams per serving, with a portion coming from heart-healthy unsaturated fats. One consideration is its cholesterol content, which is higher than in lean muscle meat due to the organ nature of giblets.
In the kitchen, these versatile organ meats shine when simmered slowly to develop deep, rich flavors. They're traditionally used to create flavorful gravies and stocks, adding complexity to soups and stews. Many cooks simmer them with aromatics like onions, celery, and herbs to make a base for sauces or to enhance stuffing recipes. They can also be chopped finely and added to rice dishes or casseroles for a protein boost and savory depth. When preparing them, it's important to cook thoroughly to ensure food safety, as with all poultry products. Their robust flavor pairs well with bold seasonings and makes them a valuable ingredient for those looking to maximize both nutrition and taste in their cooking.
