Ground Turkey calories & macros
203 calories per 100 g · 229 calories per 4 oz cooked (113 g). Ground Turkey (cooked).
Ground turkey is the classic swap for ground beef, but the saving is smaller than its reputation implies: standard ground turkey is about 203 calories per 100 g cooked, because it includes dark meat and skin. Packages labelled 99% fat-free breast meat are genuinely lean at roughly 120 calories per 100 g; packages labelled simply 'ground turkey' are not. The percentage on the label, not the bird, decides the number.
