What is the dark meat of a turkey called?

It's called dark meat. It could also be called the leg or the thigh.

No, the turkey leg would be considered "dark meat."

The juiciest meat is the dark meat - leg, thigh, wing. The driest meat is the breast meat, also called the white meat.

Typically the turkey wing and breast are considered white meat while the leg and thigh are considered dark meat.

I believe that dark meat would cook faster since it contains more fat and heat is attracted to fat.

They have light and dark meat because the parts of the animal turkey are different every inch of its body, so when it is cooked the turkey food has different colors.

70% White - 30% Dark

they hate turkey any way

Muscle fibers when cooked are dark meat.

No. The darker meat is the muscle that was more commonly exercised when the turkey was still alive.

The difference between white and dark meat in a chicken or turkey is that the dark meat muscles move more rapidly (running) and the white meat muscles move more slowly. The dark meat has more myoglobin so the muscles can allow the chicken or turkey to run further and longer. The white meat has less because they only need a small amount of myoglobin for short bursts of energy.

Generally it doesn't have much iron but dark meat has ALOT more then white meat.

Turkey based meat is meat that is not fully turkey but contains turkey. This meat likely contains more turkey than other meats.

Yes, but it's not especially high in iron. Dark meat would have greater amounts of iron than white meat.

The answer to this question is a matter of opinion. Some people like the taste of turkey, and some people do not. Personally, I think turkey is very good, and my favorite is dark meat. It's more moist than the white meat of the turkey. But that, too, is a matter of personal opinion and you may like the white meat better.
