How to Boil Smoked Turkey Necks
Smoked turkey necks add great flavor to soups and stews. Smoked turkey necks are pre-cooked but are not tender enough for eating; boiling is necessary for releasing flavor and eating. Boiled, smoked turkey necks are excellent for making homemade broth, and are a healthy alternative to cooking with pork in greens and beans.
Things You'll Need
- 4-quart cooking pot with lid
- 3 to 4 cups of water or broth
- 1 package smoked turkey necks
- Fork
Tender Smoked Turkey Necks
-
Pour three to four cups of water into a four-quart pot. Under medium heat, add smoked turkey necks to the water.
-
Cover and allow the water to simmer into a boil. Boil for one hour.
-
Reduce heat and remove lid. Insert fork into a piece of turkey neck for tenderness. When the fork can penetrate the turkey neck with ease, turn off heat.
-
Cover and return to a boil on medium heat if fork does not enter the turkey with ease. Boil for a half hour and repeat steps 3 and 4 until tender.
-
Remove smoked turkey and serve, or add in your choice of vegetables or beans for a delicious stew.
