What it is

Natural turkey flavor is a flavoring substance derived from cooked turkey. It is created by heating turkey meat and/or turkey parts with other ingredients, such as water, salt, and spices, to produce a concentrated liquid or powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural turkey flavor to foods to impart or enhance a savory, meaty taste, especially in products where actual turkey is not the primary ingredient or is not present at all. It is commonly found in processed meats, soups, gravies, and vegetarian or plant-based products seeking a poultry-like flavor.

Health notes

Natural turkey flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'natural turkey flavor' as a distinct entity are not always detailed. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Natural turkey flavor is derived from turkey, which is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
