Shredded turkey is a versatile protein-packed ingredient derived from cooked turkey meat, often seasoned and pulled into fine strands for easy incorporation into various dishes. Originating from global culinary traditions, shredded turkey is common in American, Mexican, and Mediterranean cuisine, appearing in dishes like wraps, tacos, salads, or soups. Rich in lean protein, it supports muscle growth and repair while being low in fat—particularly when using skinless turkey breast. It’s also a good source of essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus. Shredded turkey is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for low-carb or keto diets. However, nutritional benefits can vary depending on preparation methods; recipes involving heavy sauces or excessive seasoning may add sodium or unhealthy fats. Opting for minimally processed options keeps shredded turkey a healthy, flavorful addition to any meal plan.
