Turkey Breast With White Turkey

This ingredient is made from the breast meat of turkeys, which are large birds native to North America. It is typically cooked and may be processed further, such as by adding solutions for moisture and flavor, before being sliced or diced for use in food products.

Turkey breast is a lean protein source often used in deli meats, sandwiches, salads, and prepared meals. Manufacturers use it to add savory flavor and a satisfying texture to a wide variety of savory food items.

Turkey breast is recognized by the FDA as a source of protein and other nutrients. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated food ingredients, but specific evaluations for plain turkey breast are not usually listed as they are considered a basic food item.
