Turkey Neck Soup (Literally The Best)
Description
The Turkey Neck Soup recipe starts by boiling turkey necks with large pieces of onion and carrot for up to 90 minutes until the meat loosens from the bones. The broth is then strained to remove vegetable chunks, concentrating on a clear, flavored stock. The turkey meat is returned to the broth along with rice, which simmers gently to soften and thicken the soup. Diced potatoes are added towards the end, cooking until tender and absorbing the soup's essence. Seasoning with salt and pepper adjusts the flavor, while fresh chopped dill and green onion sprinkled over the top add brightness.
This soup provides a restorative meal with its rich meat broth and tender ingredients. Its texture combines hearty turkey pieces, softened rice, and potato chunks within the light broth. It is served hot, ideal for warming on cold days or when seeking a filling, wholesome dish using economical turkey neck cuts.
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey necks
- 2 carrot
- 1 yellow onion
- 1/3 cup rice
- 2 potato
- 1/2 cup green onion chopped
- 1/3 cup dill chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 3 qt water
Instructions
- Chop the carrot and onion into large pieces (no need to make it fancy, you will remove them from the broth later). In a large pot, boil the turkey necks, onion, and carrots for 60-90 minutes, or until the turkey meat falls off the neck bone.
- Remove turkey necks from the broth and set aside. Drain the broth through a colander to remove the chunks of onion and carrots.
- Place turkey necks and broth back into the large soup pot. Add in rice and let it simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, add in the diced potato. Let the soup simmer until all ingredients are fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a sprinkling of fresh dill and green onion.
