Tender As Can Be Turkey Wings Drumsticks And Necks Food

POT ROASTED TURKEY LEGS OR WINGS

Steps:

• Ingredient amounts are any amount you wish to use.
• This is a method more than a recipe since the amounts you use will depend upon how many you are serving and whether you want to have turkey to freeze for future casseroles/salads.
• Generally speaking, roast 6 legs/wings at a time, usually enough for supper and lots left for freezing Ask your butcher to cut the turkey legs crosswise for you, dividing each one of them into three pieces, a bony part at the bottom which is saved for broth making and two equal portions from the fleshy part of the leg.
• Place the fleshy parts of the legs in an uncovered roaster, and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle the legs with sage, salt and pepper, add water to roaster, cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
• Remove the roaster from the oven, add the potatoes, onions and carrots, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, cover roaster and roast for another hour or until veggies are tender.
• (Those troublesome tendons in the turkey legs which cause so much trouble are very easy to remove after the meat is tender.) Serve the turkey and veggies, counting exchanges for the portion used.
• After the unused turkey is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and freeze in portions to use for future casseroles or salads.
• Calculate the exchanges used according the the amount used.
• Low sodium diets- omit salt.
• low cholesterol diets, may be used as is.

TENDER-AS-CAN-BE TURKEY WINGS, DRUMSTICKS, AND NECKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250F (low). Heat 1 tbsp butter and the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet (or transfer to 9x13 after browning) over medium high heat.
• Add wings and drumsticks only. Sear outside to brown, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Add necks so that all the meat is single layer in the pan. Season well with remaining butter, salt, and black pepper. (Brush with BBQ sauce now if using).
• Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil and bake for about 3 1/2 hours (4 hrs if using legs).
• Carefully remove lid (watch for steam). Enjoy.

OVEN BARBECUED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• In saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft.

• Remove from heat; set aside.
• Place turkey pieces in large roasting pan. Pour sauce evenly over pieces. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for two hours.
• Remove foil and continue baking for 20 minutes.
• Remove turkey to serving platter. Skim excess fat from sauce in pan. Spoon sauce over turkey or serve separately. You will get one serving per wing.
