Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs turkey necks (regular, not smoked)
2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp coarse black pepper
2 large onions (chopped)
3 stalks celery (chopped)
5 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
(3) 0.87 packages of brown gravy mix (I used McCormicks)
3 cups chicken or turkey broth

Steps:

Make sure that the turkey necks are nice and clean, then place them into a large bowl.
Combine the seasoning salt, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme together in a large bowl. Then sprinkle all over the turkey necks. Set the turkey necks to the side.
Drizzle 2 tbsp of vegetable into a large pan, then place over medium heat.
Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the onions and celery, and cook until they have a little color to them. Now toss in the garlic, and cook for 1 minutes. Turn the heat off.
Place all of the turkey necks into to the instant pot ( or whatever pressure cooker that you are using). Then add in the onions, celery, and garlic.
Now sprinkle in the packages of gravy mix, and pour in the broth.
Put the lid top on the instant pot, make sure it is sealed, and set it on high for 55 minutes.
Once done, carefully remove the steam ( as directed), then stir the southern smothered turkey necks.
Dish out the turkey necks, and serve over rice or potatoes.
Serve & Enjoy!

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c onions chopped
1/2 c celery chopped
1/2 c green bell pepper chopped
1 pkg turkey necks
1/3 c olive oil
1/2 stick butter
1 Tbsp chef gone mad cajun nola or all purpose seasoning
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 c tony chachere brown gravy mix (prepared as directed on the container)

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.
