White Turkey And Turkey Breast

White turkey and turkey breast are lean meats derived from the breast muscle of turkeys. They are typically processed by roasting, smoking, or slicing for deli use. These products are valued for their mild flavor and protein content.

Manufacturers use white turkey and turkey breast as a primary protein source in a variety of processed meats. They are commonly found in deli meats like turkey breast slices, pepperoni, and salami, as well as in convenience foods such as pre-cooked turkey burgers or roasts.

White turkey and turkey breast are recognized as safe and nutritious food ingredients by regulatory bodies like the FDA. They are a good source of lean protein, vitamins, and minerals. While generally considered healthy, processed turkey products can be high in sodium, and consumers are advised to follow the FDA's daily value recommendation of no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated white turkey or turkey breast as additives, as they are whole foods.
