Because of PKU which is a hereditary disease, there exists many food charts to list the phenylalanine content of common foods.

Notice that most protein from animal sources is high.
There is also phenylalanine in Nutrasweet.

Turkey is good, but there are others just as high or higher. (Gelatin of all things!). Hello Jello!
