Turkey, all classes, heart, raw: Nutrition Facts
Generic food Raw Poultry

Roughly 49% of its calories come from fat, with 49% from protein and 1% from carbohydrates (estimated with general energy factors).
That is less energy than the typical item in poultry products on FoodFactly, where the median is 176 kcal per 100 g across 391 foods.
100 g provides 554% of the Daily Value for Vitamin B12, 87% of the Daily Value for Riboflavin (B2) and 64% of the Daily Value for selenium.
These values are for the raw food. Cooking changes the water content and some nutrients, so cooked versions are listed separately below.
The data comes from USDA FoodData Central: SR Legacy, where most core values were measured by laboratory analysis.
