A number of days in the past I went to the market and ended up shopping for fairly a little bit of turkey neck. though I take pleasure in consuming it and grew up with it (we primarily used it to make soup), I do not eat it as usually these days as I used to.

From a Caribbean viewpoint, the overwhelming majority of animal physique components have a spot on the desk.

turkey necks are fairly regular to eat together with consuming cow ft, rooster ft (step-by-step), pig tail, goat head, and so on…

I am positive most cultures have their very own particular meals, even when it is a full distinction to mine.

in my humble opinion, turkey neck is likely one of the greatest components to eat. though it’s thought-about “meals for the poor” identical to corn flour. if cooked appropriately, it may possibly create a scrumptious stew that falls off the bone with a great deal of taste.

though turkey neck isn’t as meaty as different cuts reminiscent of breasts, thighs, and legs. it nonetheless has its rightful place on this planet of excellent meals.

the important thing to cooking this explicit meat and falling in love with it’s to prepare dinner it slowly and over an extended time period as a result of we’re coping with a troublesome reduce of the hen.

oxtail vs turkey neck

Though each cuts are extra bony than meaty, they don’t seem to be the identical. turkey neck is the darkish meat that comes from a turkey and oxtail is the cow’s tail that’s crimson meat.

as a result of demand and recognition of oxtail, in contrast to its turkey counterpart, oxtail could be very costly for what it’s (meat on bones).

Alternatively, whereas turkey meat is pricey, turkey neck could be very low cost and one of many least expensive cuts of meat to purchase.

therefore why Jamaicans discuss with the brown stewed turkey neck as “ghetto oxtail”. I personally disagree and really feel that stewed turkey neck is underrated and deserves to be on par with oxtail.

I will change the minds of any skeptics studying this.
