Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb turkey necks
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
2 medium carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tsp pepper corns
2 to 4 bay leaves, lightly crushed
2 tsp salt
water to cover all ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 clove garlic, thinly sliced or shaved
1 large leek, sliced and well washed
12 large mushrooms
2/3 c brown rice
1/3 c wild rice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pot, put turkey necks, onions, carrots, celery, pepper corns, bay leaves, and salt. Pour water into the pot until all ingredients are covered.
  • 2. Bring the mixture to a boil and then either simmer on stop of the stove or put a 350 degree oven. Simmer for 3 to 4 hours or until the broth is well flavored.
  • 3. Remove the turkey necks from the broth. When they are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and set aside. Discard the bones and any fatty or tough bits.
  • 4. Pour the broth through a strainer and set aside. Discard the onions, celery, carrots, peppercorns, and bay leaf.
  • 5. In the now empty soup pot, heat olive oil and saute the shaved garlic leeks and mushroom until wilted.
  • 6. Add the rice, turkey meat and broth to the leeks and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook on top of the stove or place in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours or until the rice is fully cooked.
  • 7. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. I love the addition of the dumplings. They make the soup extra hearty and filling.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful. I also think it would have been better if I had used fresh turkey necks instead of frozen ones.

I made this soup for my family and they loved it! The only thing I changed was that I added some chopped carrots and celery to the pot. I also cooked the soup for an extra 30 minutes to make sure the meat was really tender.

This turkey neck soup is a winner! The broth is rich and flavorful, and the meat is tender and juicy. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
