About Turkey, whole, meat and skin, cooked, roasted
This lean poultry option is a staple in many households, especially during holiday seasons. It provides an impressive amount of high-quality protein—nearly 29 grams per 100-gram serving—making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain or build muscle mass. With minimal carbohydrates and no fiber, it fits well into low-carb and ketogenic eating plans. The fat content is moderate at 7.4 grams per serving, though this can vary depending on whether the skin is consumed. The skin adds flavor and moisture but also increases the fat and calorie count.
Commonly prepared by roasting whole, this versatile meat can also be found in ground form, sliced for sandwiches, or diced for salads and casseroles. Its mild flavor pairs well with a variety of herbs, spices, and marinades, making it adaptable to many cuisines. Because it's naturally low in saturated fat compared to red meats, it's often recommended as a heart-healthy protein source. However, those monitoring sodium intake should be mindful of added brines or seasonings, which can significantly increase salt content.
