Roasted Turkey Nutrition Values

7sorok

I had purchased frozen turkey breast with ribs, a portion of back meat, skin and so on. The nutrition facts on label show serving size 112 g~140 cal. I had basted the breast with my own concoction of oil and spices. Came out delicious.
Questions:
1) 140 cal for raw turkey including fat and skin?
2) How to figure out the nutrition values of prepared turkey - meat only, no ribs, no fat?
I'm on 1260 cal/day regiment and every 100 cal counts. Need advise

Do you have a food scale? Weigh out the cooked turkey without bones, skin, fat in grams, add whatever calories from your basting (divided by serving size.)

if you want to find the calories for the turkey - search USDA turkey cooked no bones and you should get a pretty good estimate

You can use the USDA entry for "05220, Turkey, whole, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted" (I'm guessing that's your cooking method). If you search for that string of words the entry will come up. (I'd always assume you get some of the fat if cooked skin on, though.)

140 cal for 112 g for raw turkey with the back meat and skin seems low but probably reflects added saline solution which is common in packaged poultry I believe. That would increase the weight without increasing the cals. I'd think the package information might be best if possible for those kinds of meats, as they know what is added. But you'd have to weigh it raw.

Thank you, friends. I was looking at Usda 05220 and found out that 05718 correlates a bit better because the sodium content is closer to the label. Big appreciation to all, especially to lemurcat2
