Awesome Turkey Necks Anyone!

            Hi this is Soulful! I like soul food or any food really that tastes good. I guess that is the southern boy coming out of me. I loved watching my  Mom throw down in  the kitchen so I hoped I have picked up a few things. I was thinking about cooking these delicious turkey necks my wife bought and so I decided to give it a try. Someone asked me for the recipe so I will attempt to write it down. Here goes. First, get some fresh, washed, turkey necks and place them in a  clear bag. Now the good part is to season the necks in the bag with a teaspoon  of onion powder, teaspoon of garlic powder, and a teaspoon of season salt. Second, put some flour in the bag - just enough to coat the necks  and  seal the bag. I place the bag in the refrigerator  until I am ready for them. Third, start to get the oven ready at  350 deg temp. While the oven is heating up set up a frying pan  on  the stove and place some virgin olive oil and a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Get the bag of necks out of the frig and set them aside until the pan is hot.  Place the coated necks into the pan and sear them on all sides.  Once you have the necks good and brown place them in a aluminum pan.  Fourth, use the grease in the pan to make some gravy that will smother the necks. Get some onions and saute them in the grease. Add a teaspoon of pepper. Once you saute the onions put about  2 to 3 or more teaspoons of flour  (I'm a country boy so I like gravy),  teaspoon of salt  and a cup and 1/2 of water with some chicken stock. After the gravy is nice and getting thick  place the gravy mixture in the aluminum pan with the necks. Cover the  pan with some aluminum foil and place into the oven for about an hour  and a half(till tender). Check the necks for tenderness. I like my  turkey necks to be tender but yet golden brown so I set them under the broiler for a few minutes.  

Thats it! Good luck and good eaten :-). Hear some of my music please! Urban Gospel!  Check my music at on spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/album/14aWucVuArZuZ5TWOW7G0i?highlight=spotify:track:2wTTloQmCuIlTSPBtHtm5l  and Urban Gospel at: https://open.spotify.com/album/0pLi6bZKD5FsqqXKCmT16W

  7. Wow just saw this. Just used enough stock to carry the gravy. A cup normally does it and then I add water.
