Boiled turkey necks are a flavorful and protein-rich delicacy often enjoyed in Southern U.S. and Cajun cuisines. Prepared by simmering the necks in seasoned water or broth, they develop a tender texture and robust taste. Turkey necks offer a good source of lean protein, collagen, and essential nutrients like iron and phosphorus, making them an excellent choice for supporting muscle repair and bone health. However, they can also be high in cholesterol and rich in fat depending on preparation, so moderation is key. Often used as a base for soups or stews, boiled turkey necks are a versatile ingredient that brings rustic charm to traditional comfort food dishes. Pairing them with nutrient-dense sides like leafy greens or whole grains can make a balanced and satisfying meal.
