What it is
Turkey liver is the liver of turkeys — the standard liver package of vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, and protein, appearing in turkey-first wet foods and freeze-dried toppers.
Why it's in pet food
Like every named liver, it delivers micronutrients and palatability in one slot while keeping a single-protein recipe honest. Dose is the built-in caveat of all liver ingredients; recipes handle it by position.
How Bowlmark scores it
Scores are deterministic math over the printed label — the rules below apply to every product identically, and nothing estimates or fills in a blank.
Turkey liver is a named protein source to the engine — the word "turkey" is what it reads. When it is the first ingredient it earns the 15-point fresh named-protein bonus on the ingredient-quality pillar; in any other slot it earns nothing, because only named meals score in the second and third slots. No deduction applies — an organ sold under its own name is the transparent version of what "by-product" hides.
