What it is

Turkey fat is the rendered fat from turkeys. It is a byproduct of turkey processing and is often used for its savory flavor and cooking properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use turkey fat to add a rich, savory flavor to foods like gravies, soups, and prepared meals. Its fat content also contributes to texture and mouthfeel in these products.

Health notes

Turkey fat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other animal fats, it is a source of calories and saturated fat. The WHO/IARC has evaluated fats and oils in general, but specific evaluations of turkey fat are not widely publicized. Evidence on the health effects of dietary fat intake is ongoing, with recommendations generally advising moderation in saturated fat consumption.

Allergen info

Turkey fat is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
