Turkey ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 313 turkey products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the turkey numbers show

Median across all 313 of them is 15.6g of protein per 100 calories. 217 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 45 to 530 per 100g inside this one group, a 12-fold spread, so “turkey” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 21.4g of protein per 100 calories across 94 products, against 12.5g for the 219 name-brand ones.

Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label turkey to compare fairly — 45 products at a median of 21.5g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.

What to actually pick

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. SuperValu Signature Tastes Delicatessen Roast Irish Turkey 120g tops the table at 23.8g of protein per 100 calories.

8 of the 313 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Turkey is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.
