Turkey (Dark Meat)
Turkey (Dark Meat) is the darker portion of turkey often used in roasts, stews and grilling; it is common in North American and European cuisines and valued for its richer flavor compared with white turkey meat. It is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 26.5g of protein per 100g, making it useful for meals where meat is the main protein component. Nutritionally, dark turkey delivers important B vitamins (including niacin and B12) and selenium, and its amino-acid profile makes it highly satiating and effective for supporting muscle maintenance; compared with white poultry cuts it contains more fat, which contributes to its flavor and moisture.
