Cooking A Turkey Neck For Gravy. Well i just had to do it folks. Southern smothered smoked turkey necks made easy in the pressure cooker.
The neck is used to make a simple turkey stock and the gravy recipe is finished with those delicious browned bits from the roasting pan. 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. This homemade turkey gravy does not use pan drippings.
Ingredients 5 cups water or chicken stock for a richer flavor.
As a prep ahead i took the neck wing tips and gizzard and boiled in 2 cups of water with onions celery and a little salt less fatty drippings than what is in the pan made the recipe just as the turkey rested carved and served everything hot. If using neck and giblets cut the neck into three or four pieces. Before cooking your turkey you should remove the giblets and set them aside. When you buy a turkey or chicken you will find the neck heart liver and gizzards from the bird stored inside its cavity.
