What percentage of a turkey is white meat dark meat?
It's difficult to give a precise percentage for white meat vs. dark meat in a turkey. Here's why:
* Turkey Size and Breed: Different breeds of turkeys have different proportions of white and dark meat.
* Individual Variation: Even within the same breed, individual turkeys can have slightly different ratios.
* Cutting and Processing: How the turkey is processed and cut can influence the amount of white and dark meat you end up with.
General Estimates:
* White Meat: About 30-40% of a turkey's total weight.
* Dark Meat: About 60-70% of a turkey's total weight.
Remember: These are just general guidelines. The actual percentage can vary.
