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.

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.
