Baked Turkey Necks Recipes

BRIDGETTE'S SMOTHERED TURKEY NECKS

Steps:

• 1. 1. Heat your pan and add oil and butter. I used my Montell Williams counter top (crockpot/stove/oven) it does a lot on the counter top without heating up the kitchen.
• 2. 2. Season the turkey necks with Chef gone Mad, onion powder and garlic powder and allow to come to room temperature.
• 3. 3. Add the turkey necks to hot oil. I fried on each side for 1 minute just to brown and removed to continue frying the rest of the turkey necks.
• 4. 4. Set turkey necks to the side
• 5. 5. Add celery and bell peppers to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes.
• 6. 6. Add onions and fry for 5 minutes
• 7. 7. Add gravy to the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes. Taste the gravy and add more seasoning to your taste if necessary.
• 8. 8. Return turkey necks and drippings to gravy and I let it cook on crockpot on high for 3 hours, don't forget to check and stir, make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the crockpot.
• 9. 9. If you're using a regular pot, let the turkey necks simmer until they are as tender as you desire. I like my turkey necks very tender almost "falling off the bone".
• 10. 10. I served mine with rice, buttery green peas and potato salad, bcuz that's how I like to eat mine.

OSSO BUCO-STYLE TURKEY NECKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Season the necks with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the necks, turning occasionally, until dark golden, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
• Add the carrots, celery, onion and 2 of the garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet, 2 minutes. Add the broth, rosemary, sage and thyme (tie herbs together with kitchen twine if desired). Return necks to the pot. Bring liquid to a simmer. Cover pot and place in the oven. Cook, turning necks occasionally, until they are very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• When the turkey necks are done, transfer to a serving platter. Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil over medium-high heat; simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the necks. Combine the remaining garlic, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl; sprinkle over the turkey.

BAKED TURKEY NECKS

Steps:

• 1. Season necks with salt and pepper. Place in a baking pan that has a tight fitting top. Add garlic and about 1 c water or chicken broth. Bake at 350 degrees for 3-4 hours,until necks are falling off the bones. Check after an hour to make sure there's still liquid in the bottom of pan so necks don't burn.

A SIMPLY PERFECT ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.
• Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.
• Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 4 hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
