Calories in raw ground turkey (93% lean).

150 kcal per 100 g.

"93% lean" is a weight claim, not a calorie one: 7% fat by weight is still about half of the calories, because fat carries 9 kcal per gram. Ground turkey is leaner than 80/20 beef but not dramatically leaner than 90/10.

Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.

Preparation

93% lean means 7% fat by weight raw, which works out to 150 kcal per 100 g with 8.3 g of fat. Pan-browning takes it to 213 per 100 g, a bigger jump than most meats make, because turkey mince holds a lot of water and loses it quickly. Nothing is added in that step; the calories in the pan are the calories that went into it, minus whatever fat you drain off.

Logging this food

A 4 oz portion is 113 g raw and 170 kcal; a pound is 453 g and 680. USDA also lists a cooked-from-4-oz serving at 85 g and 128 kcal, which is the same meat after browning and the cleanest way to log a packet you weighed raw and then divided. Mince is one of the few foods where weighing raw is both easier and more accurate.

Swaps and alternatives

Raw ground chicken is 143 kcal per 100 g, marginally leaner. Ground beef at 93% lean is not in this set, but the 95% beef row is a fair comparison for anyone choosing between birds and cattle. The bigger lever is the lean percentage itself: every step down the beef ladder from 95% to 80% costs about 60 kcal per 100 g raw.
