Turkey Necks Recipe (The Classic Way)
Description
The recipe starts by optionally cutting turkey necks into smaller portions for even cooking. The meat is browned in a lightly oiled skillet along with diced onion to develop flavor. Carrots and bay leaves are added, followed by seasoning with salt and a cup of hot water to provide moisture for baking. Covered and cooked in a 350°F oven for around 1.5 hours, the turkey necks become tender enough to start separating from the bone.
The cooking method infuses the meat with the aroma from vegetables and bay leaves while maintaining moistness. Serving the necks warm alongside potatoes or rice complements the rich flavors and provides a hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 4 lb turkey necks
- 3 carrot
- 1 onion
- 4 bay leaf
- salt to taste
- olive oil for frying, light
Instructions
- Optionally, cut turkey necks into smaller pieces.
- Dice the onion into half rings, then clean carrots and cut them into large pieces.
- In a hot, oiled skillet, cook the turkey necks until browned on all sides. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook onion in the same skillet, until it's slightly browned.
- Season meat and vegetables with salt, add one cup of hot water to the dish, cover it with a lid. Place it in an oven at 350F to bake for 1.5 hours or until the meat begins to separate from the bone.
- Serve turkey necks with potatoes, rice or simply on their own, while they are still warm.
