Jamaican Brown Stewed Turkey Neck

Turkey Neck has grown in popularity over the years. It is fairly cheap and is a good source of protein. I try to cook t in many different ways such as curried and it makes a delicious "Pulled Turkey Neck" sandwich. The meat shop normally sells it pre-cut which is good because the bone is tough. To clean it you need to wash in vinegar or lime juice and water. 
Here is a simple recipe for a Stewed Turkey Neck.

 Servings 8

Ingredients

1 turkey neck, cut up (this is hard to do at home so buy precut pieces)

Salt and pepper as needed

1 medium onion, cut into eighths

8 oz carrots, large dice

14 ozs diced tomatoes, undrained

10 ozs water

 

2 chicken bouillion cubes

4 ozs ketchup or 8 ozs tomato sauce

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon Soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar, optional

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 

 

4 pimento berries, cracked 

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 lb potatoes cut into fourths

 Season the turkey neck with salt and pepper. 

Brown the meat in vegetable oil. 

Drain excess oil. Add flour and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring. 

Add all the other ingredients to pot along with turkey neck.

 Cover and simmer for about 11/2-2 hours until meat is tender and falls off the bone (this step can be done in a pressure cooker or slow cooker)

Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with hot buttered rice or rice and peas and a side salad.
