About Turkey, whole, neck, meat only, cooked, simmered
This cut of poultry is a rich source of high-quality protein, delivering over 22 grams per 100-gram serving. It's also naturally low in carbohydrates and contains no fiber, making it suitable for low-carb or ketogenic eating patterns. The fat content is moderate, with a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats, and it provides essential micronutrients such as B vitamins, selenium, and zinc, which support energy metabolism and immune function. Because it's simmered rather than fried, it retains moisture and tenderness without adding extra fat from cooking oils.
In the kitchen, this part of the bird is often used to enrich broths, stocks, and soups, where its collagen breaks down into gelatin, adding body and depth of flavor. It can also be shredded and incorporated into stews, casseroles, or mixed with vegetables for a hearty, protein-packed meal. Its mild taste makes it versatile, pairing well with herbs, spices, and aromatic vegetables. For those looking to maximize nutrient intake while keeping meals simple, it's a practical choice that works well in slow-cooked or simmered dishes.
