How the numbers are taken. Amounts are per 100 g of the edible part, from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, public domain), in the state named — raw, boiled, roasted and so on. Percentages use the FDA Daily Values for adults and children aged 4 and over, set around a 2,000-calorie diet; your own needs can be different. This site compares amounts — it does not give diet or medical advice. Sources and limits.

What USDA measured

Every yield on this page comes from weights USDA wrote down in its SR Legacy food table, not from a rule of thumb. ground turkey, 93% lean, patty, broiled: 75.0% — raw entry “serving (cooked from 4 oz)” = 85 g (USDA serving note, close to the 4 oz → 3 oz convention). For ground turkey USDA gives the yield as a serving note on the raw entry — one patty cooked from 4 oz raw weighs 85 g — which is close to the common 4-to-3 rule rather than a separate weighing.

Raw to cooked weight

Ground turkey, 93% lean, patty, broiled: 100 g raw → 75 g; 4 oz raw → 3.0 oz; 1 lb raw → 12.0 oz (340 g). For 3 oz on the plate, start with about 4.0 oz (113 g) raw.

Why 100 g cooked is not 100 g raw

Ground turkey, 93% lean has 150 kcal and 18.73 g protein per 100 g raw; patty, broiled, it has 207 kcal and 25.86 g per 100 g. Meat loses water (and some fat) as it cooks, so each gram of cooked meat carries more of what is left. A nutrition entry is only right for the weight it was measured at.

The same plate, counted two ways

100 g raw ground turkey, 93% lean, patty, broiled (75 g): 150 kcal by the raw figures, 155 kcal by the cooked figures. The two counts agree within 5%, so either entry gives about the same calories for this plate.

Matching the weight to the entry

Whichever way you count, the weight and the entry have to be in the same state: weigh raw and use the raw figures, or weigh on the plate and use the cooked figures for the same cooking method. The yields here are USDA averages; your pan, oven, cut and cooking time will move the real number by a few percent either way.
