- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, not specific to turkey.
- Turkey albumin — A protein in turkey that can trigger reactions in some people.
- Turkey globulin — Another turkey protein that may cause allergic symptoms.
Preparation

Results and what they mean

A clinician interprets these results along with your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
