What am I suppose to do with the long organ the store left inside the turkey?

Question

I guess the turkey was excited when they killed it. Should I cook the turkey on it's back and leave it's you know sticking up in the air like when it was alive?

Answer 1

Haha the vegetarian learned something today =)

Answer 2

You're probably looking at the neck. You can cook it up and shred it into the stuffing or simply save it and cook it up later as part of a turkey soup with home made noodles. Very good.

Answer 3

If you're speaking of the neck, drop in in some boiling water along with the other giblets, and boil it down until you have a good turkey stock. You can use that for gravy, as well as a broth for the stuffing.

Answer 4

I'm assuming your being silly....But that is the neck of the turkey. Take it out and cook it separately. It is dark meat and goes well in stuffing's.

Answer 5

I would hope you jest.
In the case I am wrong, it is the foolish birds neck and you can boil it to add to the soup made after the holiday with the leftovers for the stock value.

Answer 6

that's the turkey's neck. If you were making a stock you could use it to help thicken, otherwise you can just disguard it.

You cook it with the breasts face up, tuck the wings under so they dont burn.

Answer 7

I think you should donate it! Some poor turkey is in line at some hospital for an organ transfer and your donation can really help!

Answer 8

Some people use it to make Giblet Gravey. It's not like you have to eat the organ, but it does add flavor to the gravey.

Take care..

Answer 9

that is the neck. some people cook it and eat it.. it's quite disgusting. Just throw it out

Answer 10

Wack it with a spoon an see if it goes down!
