Turkey Ham: Turkey Thigh

Turkey ham is a processed meat product made from turkey meat, typically the thigh. The meat is cured, often with salt and other seasonings, and then cooked. It is shaped and sliced to resemble traditional ham.

Turkey ham is used as a protein source in a variety of prepared foods. It is commonly found in sandwiches, wraps, salads, and ready-made meals. Its mild flavor and firm texture make it a versatile ingredient.

Turkey ham is regulated by the FDA as a processed meat product. Like other processed meats, it is often high in sodium. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats as carcinogenic to humans, based on sufficient evidence of cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. However, the risk is associated with high consumption levels.
