Turkey, light meat, skin removed calories: 118 per 1 large or thick slice (85 g)

This exact USDA record reports 118 calories for 1 large or thick slice (85 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 118 calories for 1 large or thick slice at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 139 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 24.5 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 397 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is turkey, all classes, light meat, cooked, roasted, representing 65.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 large or thick slice at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 39–188 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706105: “Turkey, light meat, skin not eaten.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2706105, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, boneless, cooked, skinless” through “1 cup, cooked, diced” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706105’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Turkey, light meat, skin not eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706109 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 oz, boneless, cooked, skinless to 1 cup, cooked, diced

    USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 39 kcal to 188 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706109

    At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Turkey, light meat, roasted, skin not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Turkey, all classes, light meat, cooked, roasted

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Turkey, all classes, light meat, cooked, roasted supplies 65.5% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “light meat; skin not eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706109 when “light meat; roasted; skin not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706105 to 3 source inputs totaling 100.8 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Turkey, light meat, skin not eaten” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Turkey, all classes, light meat, cooked, roasted, Turkey from whole, light meat, meat only, with added solution, cooked, roasted, Salt, table. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706105, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Turkey, duck, other poultry” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations match

The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.

Shared listed inputs: Turkey from whole, light meat, meat only, with added solution, cooked, roasted; Salt, table; Turkey, all classes, light meat, cooked, roasted.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large or thick slice (85 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large or thick slice (85 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706105 with FDC 2706109 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706105 versus FDC 2706109 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.

For “Turkey, light meat, skin not eaten,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    portion size

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    cut and fat trim

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  3. 03

    cooking method

    Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.

  4. 04

    breading, marinade, or sauce

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2706105 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 139 kcal per 100 g becomes 118 kcal at 85 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 large or thick slice has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706105

FNDDS food code: 24201020

The scaling for FDC 2706105 can be exact while the match to “Turkey, light meat, skin not eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
