Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Chicken or turkey garden salad, begin by separating “Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots, no dressing” from “Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Poultry mixed dishes.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “chicken or turkey garden salad.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Chicken or turkey garden salad, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2706811 through FDC 2706810. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

315–344 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

2 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “tomato and/or carrots; other vegetables”; the higher is “other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.2 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots” (0.8 g) and “tomato and/or carrots; other vegetables” (1.0 g).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every chicken or turkey garden salad.

Important: “Lower” begins with Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots, no dressing; “higher” ends with Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every chicken or turkey garden salad meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Chicken or turkey garden salad, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 315 to 344 grams—a 29-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 208 calories for “other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots” to 220 for “tomato and/or carrots; other vegetables.” At a fixed 100 grams, “tomato and/or carrots; other vegetables” is 64 calories and “other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots” is 66—a fixed-weight separation of 2 calories. For Chicken or turkey garden salad, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “chicken and/or turkey, other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots, no dressing” and “chicken and/or turkey, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes celery, raw, chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten, and cucumber, with peel, raw; differentiating rows include carrots, mature, raw, mushrooms, raw, peppers, bell, green, raw, and tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average. On this Chicken or turkey garden salad page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Chicken or turkey garden salad” cannot resolve the differences between Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots, no dressing and Chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 315–344 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “chicken and/or turkey, other vegetables excluding tomato and carrots, no dressing” and “chicken and/or turkey, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include celery, raw and chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten; rows that vary across the set include carrots, mature, raw, mushrooms, raw, and peppers, bell, green, raw. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Chicken or turkey garden salad, …, no dressing” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Chicken or turkey garden salad unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
