Smoked turkey necks are a flavorful cut of poultry commonly used in Southern and soul food cuisines. They are prepared by slow-smoking the necks to enhance their rich, savory taste. Packed with protein and essential minerals like iron and zinc, smoked turkey necks can be a nutritious addition to meals, offering a hearty alternative to red meat. However, they can be high in sodium depending on the smoking and seasoning process, so moderation is advised for those monitoring salt intake. Often used to add depth to soups, stews, or collard greens, they infuse dishes with smoky complexity while providing a satisfying texture. Smoked turkey necks are also relatively low in fat compared to other smoked meats, making them a healthier option in recipes when paired with nutrient-rich, fresh ingredients.
