Turkey (Light Meat)
Turkey (Light Meat) is the light, lean portion of domesticated turkey commonly used across American, European and Middle Eastern cuisines — popular for roasting, grilling and sandwich fillings. It is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 28.3g of protein per 100g, while being very low in carbohydrates. Nutritionally it is prized as a lean animal protein and supplies B vitamins such as niacin and vitamin B6 plus selenium, making it useful for muscle maintenance and metabolic health; it also has relatively modest fat compared with dark turkey meat. As a choice for balanced meals, it delivers high-quality amino acids and satiety with relatively low energy density, so it’s often recommended where a lean, versatile protein is desired.
