Calories in Ground Turkey by Lean Percent

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

"Ground turkey calories" depends on the lean percent (85% lean, 93% lean or fat free), on raw against cooked and on how it was cooked. This guide gives eleven records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: raw ground turkey at 85% lean, 93% lean and fat free, a raw and a cooked record with no lean percent given, and cooked broiled patties and pan-broiled crumbles at 85% lean, 93% lean and fat free, with the weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has poultry rows including turkey on our beef, pork and duck guide, not repeated here. Minced beef is in our ground beef guide, turkey bacon and salami in our frankfurter, salami and ham guide, tacos in our taco, burrito and nachos guide, pasta dishes in our lasagna, spaghetti and macaroni guide and buns in our burger bun and roll guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, raw ground turkey is 112 to 180 kcal per 100 g across the four raw records (fat free 112, no lean percent given 148, 93% lean 150, 85% lean 180) and cooked ground turkey is 138 to 258 across the seven cooked records (fat free patties broiled 138, 93% lean patties broiled 207, 85% lean patties broiled 249, 85% lean pan-broiled crumbles 258). A pound (453.6 g, our weight) of raw 93% lean is 680.4 kcal and of raw 85% lean 816.5 kcal. Our reading: in every raw and cooked pair on this page the cooked record has more kcal, more protein and less water per 100 g, and within each cooking method the kcal rise from fat free to 93% lean to 85% lean; compare lean percent and raw against cooked, not the word turkey.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. Pure ounce portions are not shown, so the records that print only an ounce portion have no row here and the weights tables below cover all eleven. No record prints a cup weight.

The sums: 171506 203 × 82 / 100 = 166.46, so 166.5 kcal; 171506 203 × 330 / 100 = 669.9, so 669.9 kcal; 171505 148 × 453.6 / 100 = 671.328, so 671.3 kcal; 171505 148 × 114 / 100 = 168.72, so 168.7 kcal; 172847 112 × 85 / 100 = 95.2, so 95.2 kcal; 172847 112 × 453 / 100 = 507.36, so 507.4 kcal; 172849 138 × 85 / 100 = 117.3, so 117.3 kcal; 174493 180 × 453 / 100 = 815.4, so 815.4 kcal; 174493 180 × 85 / 100 = 153, so 153.0 kcal; 172850 150 × 85 / 100 = 127.5, so 127.5 kcal; 172850 150 × 453 / 100 = 679.5, so 679.5 kcal.

100 g, 250 g and 500 g of ground turkey

Shops and recipes use 250 g and 500 g, which these records do not print. These three weights are ours: each cell is the SR Legacy per 100 g figure times the grams, divided by 100, as kcal, protein and fat, shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. They are for the meat as the record describes it (raw or cooked as named), not for a keema, a curry or a fry with oil.

The weight sums: 171506 203 × 100 / 100 = 203, so 203.0 kcal; 171506 203 × 250 / 100 = 507.5, so 507.5 kcal; 171506 203 × 500 / 100 = 1015, so 1015.0 kcal; 171505 148 × 100 / 100 = 148, so 148.0 kcal; 171505 148 × 250 / 100 = 370, so 370.0 kcal; 171505 148 × 500 / 100 = 740, so 740.0 kcal; 172847 112 × 100 / 100 = 112, so 112.0 kcal; 172847 112 × 250 / 100 = 280, so 280.0 kcal; 172847 112 × 500 / 100 = 560, so 560.0 kcal; 172849 138 × 100 / 100 = 138, so 138.0 kcal; 172849 138 × 250 / 100 = 345, so 345.0 kcal; 172849 138 × 500 / 100 = 690, so 690.0 kcal; 174493 180 × 100 / 100 = 180, so 180.0 kcal; 174493 180 × 250 / 100 = 450, so 450.0 kcal; 174493 180 × 500 / 100 = 900, so 900.0 kcal; 172850 150 × 100 / 100 = 150, so 150.0 kcal; 172850 150 × 250 / 100 = 375, so 375.0 kcal; 172850 150 × 500 / 100 = 750, so 750.0 kcal; 172848 151 × 100 / 100 = 151, so 151.0 kcal; 172848 151 × 250 / 100 = 377.5, so 377.5 kcal; 172848 151 × 500 / 100 = 755, so 755.0 kcal; 174495 249 × 100 / 100 = 249, so 249.0 kcal; 174495 249 × 250 / 100 = 622.5, so 622.5 kcal; 174495 249 × 500 / 100 = 1245, so 1245.0 kcal; 174492 207 × 100 / 100 = 207, so 207.0 kcal; 174492 207 × 250 / 100 = 517.5, so 517.5 kcal; 174492 207 × 500 / 100 = 1035, so 1035.0 kcal; 174494 258 × 100 / 100 = 258, so 258.0 kcal; 174494 258 × 250 / 100 = 645, so 645.0 kcal; 174494 258 × 500 / 100 = 1290, so 1290.0 kcal; 172851 213 × 100 / 100 = 213, so 213.0 kcal; 172851 213 × 250 / 100 = 532.5, so 532.5 kcal; 172851 213 × 500 / 100 = 1065, so 1065.0 kcal.

One pound of raw ground turkey

All four raw records print a 1 lb portion (453 g, or 453.6 g on one of them). The weight used here is ours (1 lb = 453.6 g), applied to the raw per 100 g figures: kcal, protein and fat, shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Raw meat loses water when cooked, so a pound of raw meat does not become a pound of cooked patties.

The pound sums: 172847 112 × 453.6 / 100 = 508.032, so 508.0 kcal; 171505 148 × 453.6 / 100 = 671.328, so 671.3 kcal; 172850 150 × 453.6 / 100 = 680.4, so 680.4 kcal; 174493 180 × 453.6 / 100 = 816.48, so 816.5 kcal.

What stands out in the numbers

• Raw, kcal per 100 g, highest first: 174493 (Turkey, ground, 85% lean, 15% fat, raw) 180, 172850 (Turkey, ground, 93% lean, 7% fat, raw) 150, 171505 (Turkey, Ground, raw) 148, 172847 (Turkey, ground, fat free, raw) 112.
• Cooked, kcal per 100 g, highest first: 174494 (Turkey, ground, 85% lean, 15% fat, pan-broiled crumbles) 258, 174495 (Turkey, ground, 85% lean, 15% fat, patties, broiled) 249, 172851 (Turkey, ground, 93% lean, 7% fat, pan-broiled crumbles) 213, 174492 (Turkey, ground, 93% lean, 7% fat, patties, broiled) 207, 171506 (Turkey, Ground, cooked) 203, 172848 (Turkey, ground, fat free, pan-broiled crumbles) 151, 172849 (Turkey, ground, fat free, patties, broiled) 138.
• Per printed patty, serving or unit, highest first: 171506 (Turkey, Ground, cooked), 1 unit, yield from 1 lb raw, 330 g, 669.9 kcal, 171505 (Turkey, Ground, raw), 1 patty, 4 oz, 114 g, 168.7 kcal, 171506 (Turkey, Ground, cooked), 1 patty (4 oz, raw) (yield after cooking), 82 g, 166.5 kcal, 174493 (Turkey, ground, 85% lean, 15% fat, raw), 1 patty (cooked from 4 oz raw), 85 g, 153.0 kcal, 172850 (Turkey, ground, 93% lean, 7% fat, raw), 1 serving (cooked from 4 oz), 85 g, 127.5 kcal, 172849 (Turkey, ground, fat free, patties, broiled), 1 patty, 85 g, 117.3 kcal, 172847 (Turkey, ground, fat free, raw), 1 patty (cooked from 4 oz raw), 85 g, 95.2 kcal.
• Per printed pound (raw), highest first: 174493 (Turkey, ground, 85% lean, 15% fat, raw), 1 lb, 453 g, 815.4 kcal, 172850 (Turkey, ground, 93% lean, 7% fat, raw), 1 lb, 453 g, 679.5 kcal, 171505 (Turkey, Ground, raw), 1 lb, 453.6 g, 671.3 kcal, 172847 (Turkey, ground, fat free, raw), 1 lb, 453 g, 507.4 kcal; the cooked record 171506 prints a 330 g unit 'yield from 1 lb raw', shown in the list above.
• Rows to check by hand: the cooked record with no lean percent given (171506) prints 203 kcal per 100 g and 10.4 g of fat; it names no lean percent, so we do not place it in the lean percent order, and we show it as printed and do not adjust it.

Why these are reference rows, not your mince

• Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. The records are USDA's generic ground turkey rows; we do not say that turkey mince bought in India matches them.
• Lean percent is the sample's. The 85% and 93% in the names is the lean to fat ratio of the USDA sample; mince sold in India usually does not state it, so the closest record is a guess.
• No curry or keema row. USDA has no turkey curry or keema record. Oil, onion and masala change the number, so the rows here do not give a prepared dish's calories.
• Overlap with our beef, pork and duck guide. Our beef, pork and duck guide prints IFCT raw turkey cuts with skin (leg 155, thigh 139, breast 160 and wing 184 kcal per 100 g, one region each); this page has USDA ground turkey, raw from 112 to 180 kcal per 100 g and cooked from 138 to 258. They are different datasets and different forms of turkey, so the figures differ: use one source for a meal.
• Every portion here is printed, except the weights tables. The only weights that are ours are the labelled 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 lb in the weights tables and the 100 g logging example.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of all 11 records "Calculated"; they are USDA values, not our measurements.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh it, and say raw or cooked. 100 g of broiled 93% lean ground turkey patties (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 174492 is 207 × 100 / 100 = 207, so 207.0 kcal; 100 g of raw 93% lean (172850) is 150.
• Pick the lean percent and the method the record names. Patties and crumbles are different rows; the same weight of each gives different calories.
• Curries and fries are separate. Oil, ghee and sugar are in our ghee, oil and sugar guide.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log ground turkey from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same meal.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie target, and any claim about what turkey does to your body: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Turkey keema, kofta, burgers, sausage and any restaurant or maker's version: no record used here. Turkey bacon and salami are in our frankfurter, salami and ham guide.
• The "turkey ground" search returned 11 records: all 11 used, none left out.
• Turkey records that are not ground (whole bird and parts, meat and skin, smoked, giblets, sausage and salami) are not covered on this page, and these searches are counted only, not listed: "turkey cooked" returned 46; "turkey breast" returned 19; "turkey whole" returned 53; "turkey raw" returned 53; "turkey meat only" returned 42; "turkey thigh" returned 9; "turkey drumstick" returned 9; "turkey wing" returned 11; "turkey back" returned 7; "turkey young" returned 1. Records in these searches overlap each other. The sausage and salami records are not covered.
• Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate: not covered here.
