Turkey gizzards are a nutrient-rich part of the turkey's digestive system, prized for their unique taste and chewy texture. Commonly used in Southern American, Asian, and African cuisines, they are often slow-cooked, fried, or added to stews for a savory depth of flavor. These organs are packed with protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health and repair. They're also a great source of iron, zinc, and selenium, key minerals that help bolster immunity and metabolism. Additionally, turkey gizzards contain B vitamins, including niacin and riboflavin, which promote energy production. While they are low in fat overall, they can become high in cholesterol if prepared with excessive oils or deep-frying methods. For healthier consumption, opt for boiling or braising techniques and pair them with leafy greens or whole grains for a balanced meal.
