Giblets, turkey, boiled

Boiled turkey giblets are cooked turkey parts, represented here by a mixed sample of heart, liver, gizzard and neck. They mainly provide protein and fat, along with several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, this sample contains 28g of protein, 8.8g of fat, 5.8mg of iron and 3100µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent).

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The liver contributes vitamin A, which supports normal vision and immune function. Liver and liver products are not recommended during pregnancy because of their high vitamin A content. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
