About Turkey gizzard

Turkey gizzard is a nutrient-rich organ meat found in the digestive tract of turkeys, prized for its dense texture and savory flavor. Popular in Southern, Asian, and African cuisines, gizzards are often slow-cooked, grilled, or fried, adding robust depth to stews and soups. They are low in fat and high in protein, making them a great choice for muscle building and repair. Packed with essential vitamins such as B12, which supports energy and cognitive health, and minerals like phosphorus and zinc for bone and immune health, turkey gizzards are a nutritional powerhouse. However, they are relatively high in cholesterol, so moderation is key, especially for individuals managing heart health. With their affordability and versatility, turkey gizzards offer an excellent way to incorporate nutrient-dense foods into a balanced diet.
