Caribbean Braised Turkey Necks

In the Caribbean, we love Oxtail! Oxtail is a fatty cut of meat cooked with oxtail seasoning, ginger, garlic, thyme, soy sauce, tomato paste, browning liquid, allspice berries, brown sugar, seasoning, onions, celery, carrots, beef stock, and scotch bonnet peppers. It has a beautiful flavor. The only downfall is that it is exceptionally high in fat. An alternative protein to use that contains less fat is turkey necks. Turkey necks are an underutilized cut of meat. They taste incredible when cooked low and slow. Your local butcher can help cut them up into 2-inch pieces that you can create into a fantastic meal tonight. Serve Caribbean Braised Turkey Necks with rice and peas, Trini fried rice, or a healthy side salad. You don't know what you're missing.
