A 100 g serving of cooked turkey breast (skinless) provides roughly 135 calories and 30 g of protein, per USDA FoodData Central. Dark meat is slightly higher in fat and calories. Turkey is a lean, complete-protein poultry option. Roasting or grilling keeps it lean; frying and skin add calories. Use sliced turkey breast as a sandwich protein or in bowls with vegetables.
