What is a Turkey Yield?

A turkey yield refers to the amount of meat that is obtained from a turkey after it has been processed. This includes removing the feathers, internal organs, head, and feet. The yield can vary depending on the size and breed of the turkey, as well as the method of processing. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the live weight of the turkey. For example, a turkey with a live weight of 20 pounds may yield 12 pounds of meat, which would be a yield of 60%.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Turkey Yield:

\[ TY = \frac{20 - 8}{20} \times 100 = 60\% \]

The Turkey Yield (TY) is 60%.
