What is turkey neck?
The neck of a turkey is a part of the body that connects the bird’s head to the rest of the body. It consists of several cervical vertebrae covered with skin and muscle.
In the context of preparing a turkey neck for a meal, as in the American tradition of Thanksgiving, the neck is often removed and cooked separately, or used to make broth or gravy.
As turkey is an extremely versatile meat, we supply a comprehensive assortment of cuts for all global markets, as we are experts in turkey meat.
