What it is

Turkey breast water is the liquid that is naturally present in turkey breast meat. It may also refer to added water, often containing salt and other seasonings, that is injected or added to turkey breast during processing to improve moisture and flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add turkey breast water to processed turkey products like deli meats and pre-cooked turkey cuts. The added water helps to keep the meat moist, tender, and flavorful, and can also help with binding ingredients together in processed meat products.

Health notes

Turkey breast water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a natural component of meat and the added water and seasonings are common in processed foods. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its consumption.

Allergen info

Turkey is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
