About Turkey, whole, neck, meat only, raw
This lean cut of poultry offers a concentrated source of high-quality protein with minimal carbohydrates, making it particularly appealing for those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. The 16.5g of protein per 100g serving provides essential amino acids needed for muscle maintenance and repair, while the moderate fat content (6g) includes both saturated and unsaturated fats. With zero carbohydrates and fiber, it's an excellent option for blood sugar management and fits well into diabetic meal planning.
The neck meat contains valuable micronutrients including selenium, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly niacin and vitamin B12, which support immune function and energy metabolism. While the calorie count of 125 per 100g is relatively modest, the rich flavor profile makes it a satisfying addition to various dishes. The meat's texture becomes particularly tender when slow-cooked, making it ideal for stocks, broths, and braised dishes where it can impart deep, savory notes to the cooking liquid. Many traditional cuisines utilize this cut for its ability to create flavorful bases for soups and stews, while modern applications include incorporating it into ground meat mixtures or using it as a protein-rich component in meal prep for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
