The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the size of the pieces of turkey, how tightly they are packed, and whether they are cooked with or without skin However, in general, you can expect to get about 2 cups of cooked turkey from 1 pound of raw turkey
Here is a more detailed breakdown:
With Skin:
- 1 pound of raw turkey with skin will yield approximately 1.5-2 cups of cooked turkey.
- This is because the skin adds weight and volume to the raw turkey, but it shrinks and becomes crispy when cooked.
Without Skin:
- 1 pound of raw turkey without skin will yield approximately 2-2.5 cups of cooked turkey.
- This is because there is less weight and volume to the raw turkey without the skin, so it will not shrink as much when cooked.
Mouth-Size Pieces:
- If you are cutting the turkey into mouth-size pieces, you can expect to get about 3 cups of cooked turkey from 1 pound of raw turkey.
- This is because the smaller pieces will cook more quickly and evenly, resulting in less shrinkage.
Heaping Cups:
- If you are using heaping cups, you can expect to get about 2.5-3 cups of cooked turkey from 1 pound of raw turkey.
- This is because heaping cups will hold more volume than level cups.
Exact Measurements:
- If you need a more precise measurement, you can use a kitchen scale to weigh the cooked turkey.
- 1 pound of cooked turkey is equal to 454 grams.
Additional Tips:
- When measuring cooked turkey, it is important to let it cool completely first. This will help to ensure that you are getting an accurate measurement.
- If you are using the turkey for a recipe, be sure to adjust the amount of turkey based on the size of the pieces and whether or not it is cooked with skin.
