About Turkey meat

Turkey meat is the edible muscle tissue of domestic turkey, sold as a broad category that includes both lighter and darker cuts. It is available fresh or frozen, with or without bone and skin, and as whole birds or separate cuts.

Raw meat ranges from pale pink to darker red depending on the cut. Cooked turkey has a mild savoury flavour and a texture that varies with the cut and preparation. Ground, cured, seasoned, or otherwise processed turkey products are distinct forms and may have added ingredients.
