About Turkey, whole, skin (light and dark), roasted
Turkey skin, roasted from the whole bird and including both light and dark skin sections, is overwhelmingly fat. The protein present is real but the fat dominates, having rendered partially during roasting while the remainder stays concentrated in the skin itself. No carbohydrates, no fiber. Turkey skin is crispier and thinner than chicken skin after roasting, and it is the part of the Thanksgiving bird that disappears fastest from the carving platter. Nutritionally it functions almost identically to other poultry skins: mostly rendered animal fat with some protein.
