Turkey necks are a flavorful and nutrient-rich cut of poultry commonly used in soups, stews, and broths across various cuisines, including Southern American and Caribbean dishes. Composed of muscle and connective tissue, they are rich in protein and essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium, which support bone health and immune function. Turkey necks also contain collagen, which may benefit skin and joint health when slow-cooked. However, their calorie and cholesterol content can be higher than leaner cuts, and portions should be considered for a balanced diet. When prepared by simmering or roasting with vegetables, they provide a hearty, nutrient-dense option while minimizing excess fat and sodium. Known for their versatile texture and deep flavor, turkey necks are an affordable and sustainable choice that makes use of less-utilized poultry parts, enhancing both culinary and environmental value.
