The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 137 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 161 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 22.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 389 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is turkey, thigh, from whole bird, meat only, 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 reference amount and 1 cup, cooked, diced answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 46–555 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 2706126: “Turkey, thigh, cooked, 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 2706126, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, boneless, cooked, skinless” through “1 large thigh (from tom, approx 19 to 21 lb bird) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, boneless, cooked, skinlessUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 46 kcal | 7.6 g | 0 g | 130 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 217 kcal | 36.3 g | 0 g | 618 mg |
| 1 large thigh (from tom, approx 19 to 21 lb bird) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)USDA-listed household measure | 345 g | 555 kcal | 92.8 g | 0 g | 1,580 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706126’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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin not eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706125 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, boneless, cooked, skinless to 1 large thigh (from tom, approx 19 to 21 lb bird) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 345 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 46 kcal to 555 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706125
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.3 g less total fat than “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Turkey, thigh, from whole bird, meat only, roasted
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Turkey, thigh, from whole bird, meat only, 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 “thigh; cooked; skin not eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706125 when “thigh; cooked; skin eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 21 less calories and 3.3 g less total fat than “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin eaten.”
Only this record lists Turkey, thigh, from whole bird, meat only, roasted. Only the comparison record lists Turkey, skin from whole, (light and dark), with added solution, roasted; Turkey, retail parts, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

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, thigh, cooked, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2706126 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 161 kcal per 100 g becomes 137 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706126
FNDDS food code: 24202500
The scaling for FDC 2706126 can be exact while the match to “Turkey, thigh, cooked, 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.
