Measuring turkey breast
The raw and cooked records here are turkey breast, meat only. USDA names the cooked one "Turkey, whole, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted". The cooking yield is a different measurement: USDA ARS took it on non-enhanced retail breast, meat and skin, from one sample, so it is not a skinless figure. Turkey sold as enhanced, deli turkey and ground turkey are not covered on this page, and ground turkey has its own page. Weigh the turkey in the same state as the row you pick.
Common questions
How many calories are in 4 oz of cooked turkey breast?
Use the ounce rows in the amount table above. Roasted turkey breast, meat only, is 147 kcal per hundred grams, and the table scales that to the weight on your scale. Weigh the turkey after cooking.
Are turkey breast calories for raw or cooked weight?
Both are listed and they differ: raw is 114 kcal per hundred grams and roasted is 147 kcal. Water leaves the meat in the oven, so a hundred grams of cooked turkey holds more meat than a hundred grams raw. Pick the row that matches the state on your scale.
How much weight does turkey breast lose when roasted?
USDA ARS lists a cooking yield of 72 percent for roasted turkey breast: the cooked weight was that percent of the raw weight. It comes from one sample with the skin on and varies with the cooking method.
