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

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
