About Turkey, all classes, leg, meat and skin, cooked, roasted
As a dark-meat cut, the roasted turkey leg carries more fat than the breast: 9.82 grams per 100 grams against the breast's 7.41, raising its energy to 208 calories. Protein remains high at 27.9 grams and carbohydrate is absent. The working leg muscle is richer in iron, at 2.3 milligrams per 100 grams, and holds 85 milligrams of cholesterol and 280 milligrams of potassium. Saturated fat measures 3.06 grams and sodium 77 milligrams. Dark cuts such as the leg owe their deeper color and higher iron to greater myoglobin content in muscles used for sustained activity. Roasting leaves the meat about 61 percent water.
