Baked Turkey Necks Recipes

TURKEY NECKS RECIPE (THE CLASSIC WAY)

Steps:

• Optionally, cut turkey necks into smaller pieces.
• Dice the onion into half rings, then clean carrots and cut it into large pieces.
• On an oiled hot skillet, cook turkey necks, creating browned 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.

TENDER-AS-CAN-BE TURKEY WINGS, DRUMSTICKS, AND NECKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250F (low). Heat 1 tbsp butter and the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet (or transfer to 9x13 after browning) over medium high heat.
• Add wings and drumsticks only. Sear outside to brown, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Add necks so that all the meat is single layer in the pan. Season well with remaining butter, salt, and black pepper. (Brush with BBQ sauce now if using).
• Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil and bake for about 3 1/2 hours (4 hrs if using legs).
• Carefully remove lid (watch for steam). Enjoy.

EASY BAKED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place turkey wings and onion in a casserole dish; sprinkle seasoned salt, poultry seasoning, black pepper, and garlic on both sides of each wing. Pour 1/2 cup water into the casserole dish. Cover casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 1 hour.
• Stir cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup water together in a bowl; pour over turkey wings into casserole dish and return to oven, uncovered.
• Continue baking until brown and tender, 1 hour.

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.

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.
