Ounce for ounce, turkey compares favorably to beef and pork in terms of fat content, although dark meat tends to contain slightly more fat than white meat.
A 3-ounce serving of cooked, skinless turkey breast has at least half the calories of lean beef or pork — about 129 calories — and a fraction of the total fat. The same serving of beef or pork can contain up to 12 grams of fat, depending on the cut, while turkey breast only has 2.6 grams of total fat.
This recipe originally appeared in the 1989 story “Consider turkey: Turkey sausage and other new products can typically replace high-fat meats in a lower-fat diet” by Toni Tipton-Martin.
