Are turkey necks healthy?

Turkey necks contain high levels of B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which is involved in the production of essential proteins and red blood cells and is also required for the reaction of several enzymes. They also contain essential trace minerals such as iron, copper, selenium, and zinc.

We start the stew in the same manner as other brown stews like oxtail or chicken by doing this the turkey neck is browned and cooked in its juices

The key to cooking this particular meat is to cook it slowly, for a long period for at least an hour and a half or more because it is the tough part of the bird. But slow cooking is best to draw out an eminence amount of flavor from the bones. 

But, if you do not have the time and you’re trying to get dinner on the table in less than an hour you can take the easier route and get smoked turkey neck which is what we always do to speed up the cooking process. 

 How do you make Brown Stew Turkey Neck?

 Step 1

Wash the meat and dry it off completely. In a large bowl, add the turkey neck, jerk sauce, and browning sauce. (Yes that’s all you need for now ) Make sure to thoroughly coat each piece! Marinate for at least  3-4 hours but preferably overnight to get the maximum amount of flavor from the seasonings.

Step 2 

 Time to brown your meat! In a pot add canola or vegetable oil and brown each piece of turkey neck. To seal in all the flavors and give it a nice texture.

Step 3 

Chop up your ingredients like onion, sweet pepper, garlic, scotch bonnet, scallions, and pimento seeds. 

After your meat is all browned throw off the excess oil and add the meat back to the pot and add water And seasonings to boil until soft.

“He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Wisdom

The fool said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt and have done abominable works. Many people deny the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s sad because we know as believers that He is the Savior of the world. He is our messiah. Without faith in him, you cannot make it into the kingdom of heaven. Be wise in these last of days.

Watch the company you keep. Doctors hang out with doctors, lawyers with lawyers, drunkards with drunkards. We need to surround ourselves with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Walk with people who have true wisdom so you can become wiser. For if we surround ourselves with fools we will turn into fools.

We will become backsliders and stray from God. Not saying we can’t be around the ones in darkness for we are the light, and out of us flows living water. But just be mindful of the company you keep. Stick to the Lord he is the one we should have around us the most. For He alone is wise and true. Surround yourself and stay in his presence most of all for he has the words of eternal life.
