Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Season Turkey Necks with all Seasoning ingredients. Let sit for 15 minutes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown Turkey Necks on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Add Vegetables to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Melt Butter in the pot. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken Broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
Return Turkey Necks to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until Turkey Necks are very tender.
Serve hot with your favorite sides.
