    Most of the Fat in Breast meat is immediately under and on the skin.
    The skin of a turkey contains the vast majority of the fat, With the Dark meat (thighs, wings) contain most of the remaining fat.

    Skinless turkey breast would have a very low fat content.

    According to: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/416717/cooking_with_ground_turkey_the_clean.html
    "Ground turkey breast, 99% fat-free, 4 ozs., raw: 120 calories, 1 gram of fat and no saturated fat, and 28 grams of protein" I believe this is an especially Lean type of ground turkey though.

    http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-turkey_c-Y2lkPTQxMDg0JnBhcj0.html Has lots of information on all the different Brands and cuts of turkey you can buy, along with the listed nutritional info for each. Have a look for the particular brand and cut you want to know about and it will give you all the nutritional info you need.

    Are a bit more general, but to the point.

    Edit: I just realised I didnt answer your question!
    Overall, averages taken, the saturated fat as a percentage of total fat in the white meat is 33% or lower.
