Frozen Poultry, Chicken & Turkey: Nutrition Facts and Calories

This category features a variety of frozen poultry products, including whole chickens and turkeys, individual cuts like breasts, thighs, and wings, as well as ground poultry and prepared items such as breaded nuggets or seasoned roasts. These products offer convenient options for meals. When choosing frozen poultry, checking the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list can help you make informed decisions. Poultry is a good source of protein. Some processed or breaded items may contain higher levels of saturated fat; the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Sodium content can also vary widely, especially in seasoned or marinated products. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 milligrams per day. While less common in plain poultry, some prepared items might contain added sugars; the DGA recommends no amount of added sugars. Look for products with fewer added ingredients to help manage sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar intake. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
