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.

STEWED TURKEY WITH HERBS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Rinse the turkey pieces and place them in a pot large enough to accommodate them. Cover with cold water and add the salt. Cover the pot and bring the contents to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the temperature to keep the broth at a low simmer for 1 hour. Periodically, skim any froth that rises to the surface.
• After an hour, remove the turkey pieces and set aside to cool. Raise the heat until the broth comes to a boil. Continue boiling, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half. (This will take about an hour.)
• When the broth is reduced, add the sliced onions, herbs, vinegar, butter, sugar, peppercorns, and cloves. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the onions are soft. While the broth is simmering, cut the cooled turkey into serving pieces.
• Before serving, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning. Place the meat into the broth and "let it take a walme or two," that is, let it simmer gently for just a minute. Pour the turkey and sauce into a serving bowl. Pass the "sippets" (toasted bread slices) to serve as a base for the turkey and to sop up the sauce.
