Sure, but I was excluding the water. From the USDA nutrient database:

--
Turkey, fryer-roasters, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted
Nutrient Units  Value per 100 grams of edible portion   
Water  g 68.40 
Energy  kcal 135   
Energy  kj 565   
Protein  g 30.06
Total lipid (fat)  g 0.74
Ash  g 1.14
Carbohydrate, by difference  g 0.00 0   
--
Subtracting the water leaves us with 31.6 grams of food. Of that 31.6 grams,
a whopping 30.06 grams (95%) is protein.
