All animal-based foods contain some cholesterol, so yes, turkey has cholesterol. The amount is low compared to red meats, though, and depends on the cut; turkey white meat has less cholesterol than turkey dark meat.

Dark meat, (w/o skin) has 100mg cholesterol, about 33% daily rec. maximum.Eating the meat with the skin adds a trivial amount of cholesterol but adds a large amount of saturated fat, which has a much larger (negative) impact on heart health than cholesterol.
