About Turkey, all classes, gizzard, cooked, simmered
The gizzard, a muscular organ that grinds food in the bird's digestive tract, is simmered to tenderize its dense tissue. Per 100 grams it provides 155 calories, 26.4 grams of protein, and 4.64 grams of fat, leaner than the liver and most skin-on cuts, with no carbohydrate. As a hardworking muscle it is rich in iron at 3.68 milligrams per 100 grams, the highest among the turkey items here. Cholesterol is high at 452 milligrams, characteristic of organ meats, and potassium measures 193 milligrams. At about 69 percent water, the simmered gizzard combines high protein with modest fat, though its firm texture requires slow moist cooking.
