Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 lbs turkey necks regular, not smoked
- 2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp coarse black pepper
- 2 large onions chopped
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- (3) 0.87 packages of brown gravy mix I used McCormicks
- 3 cups chicken or turkey broth
Instructions
- Make sure that the turkey necks are nice and clean, then place them into a large bowl.
- Combine the seasoning salt, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme together in a large bowl. Then sprinkle all over the turkey necks. Set the turkey necks to the side.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp of vegetable into a large pan, then place over medium heat.
- Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the onions and celery, and cook until they have a little color to them. Now toss in the garlic, and cook for 1 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Place all of the turkey necks into to the instant pot ( or whatever pressure cooker that you are using). Then add in the onions, celery, and garlic.
- Now sprinkle in the packages of gravy mix, and pour in the broth.
- Put the lid top on the instant pot, make sure it is sealed, and set it on high for 55 minutes.
- Once done, carefully remove the steam ( as directed), then stir the southern smothered turkey necks.
- Dish out the turkey necks, and serve over rice or potatoes.
- Serve & Enjoy!
