Generally safe in sensible amounts. The check below is for peace of mind.
Why Plain Turkey is safe
Plain cooked turkey meat is a lean, dog-friendly protein. The holiday problems are the extras rather than the meat: skin and drippings are fatty, cooked bones splinter, and stuffing and gravy usually contain onion and garlic.
Signs to watch for
None for plain meat; fatty or seasoned scraps can mean vomiting and belly pain
What to do next
Serve skinless, boneless and unseasoned, and keep the bones out of reach.
