Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, skin removed calories: 138 per 1 large or thick slice (85 g)

This exact USDA record reports 138 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 138 calories for 1 large or thick slice at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 162 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 24.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 847 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, cooked, skin and bone removed, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 45–219 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 2706120: “Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, 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 2706120, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 small or thin slice” 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 2706120’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

Strength-side signals

Iron2 mg

≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Potassium253 mg

≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, skin not eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706119 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 small or thin slice to 1 cup, cooked, diced

    USDA assigns those measures 28 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 45 kcal to 219 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706119

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.7 g less total fat than “Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, skin eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, cooked, skin and bone removed

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “light or dark meat; smoked; skin not eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706119 when “light or dark meat; smoked; skin eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706120 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, skin not eaten” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, cooked, skin and bone removed is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706120, 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.

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 or dark meat, smoked, 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 2706120 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 162 kcal per 100 g becomes 138 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: 2706120

FNDDS food code: 24201520

The scaling for FDC 2706120 can be exact while the match to “Turkey, light or dark meat, smoked, skin not eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
