Turkey Dark Meat, Skinless, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Turkey dark meat refers to the cooked, skinless muscle from the legs and thighs, offering a richer flavor and higher iron content compared to white breast meat. This lean protein source contains slightly more fat than white meat but provides essential minerals like zinc and iron, while the removal of skin reduces saturated fat content. Its moist texture holds up well to slow-cooking methods like braising or stewing, making it a nutrient-dense option for balanced meals.
