I love the turkey neck. Last year my turkey didn't have one so I was not a happy turkey eater. This year there it was. |

And you didn't like my turkey! My mother likes the turkey neck, and the gizzard and the rest. She's wierd! She also likes the skin. Now that's good! |

But they all look alike. No, I'm not prejudiced! In a story today, Building a Better Turkey Through Biotech, interesting in itself, there was another picture, same turkey dude, or his turkey brother? Here look... ![]() Ooops, sorry, you probably didn't want to look. ![]() That's what they looked like back down on the farm before we dressed them for dinner. I'd hold them while Grandma...don't want to get too gruesome. But that's the way is was. People now have too many sensibilities. |

That doesn't even look like a turkey--it looks like a ewe (sheep) with the head of turkey! There's no way I'd eat that. Sylvia |

Thems feathers, and that's a big red neck turkey, I tell ya. Not that I'd eat that neck, but what's under the feathers is mighty tastey. |

A rose by any other name, is a rose! That technologicaly enhanced thingy, doesn't deserve to be called a turkey. They should call it what it is ... a techno whatever! They'll have to work on it lots more before 'that' will make to a pretty serving platter. Sylvia |

You learn something every day. I have never spoken to one person before in my life that ate the turkey neck. I thought everyone threw it out. Giblets yes, neck, yuck
Skin - priceless. I love it. |

Hmmmm...Chrissy, do you roast the neck along with the rest of the turkey? I always start it simmering in a saucepan with quite a lot of water, to make stock for the gravy or sauce. When the meat starts to fall off the bone, the stock is ready and the neck is up for grabs. By then everything is smelling good and everyone is starving, so it doesn't last long. I just put it on a plate, turn my back. and the next time I look there's a little pile of bones. |

Smoked turkey necks in a gumbo, yum yum. Also turkey neck jambalaya, etc. Point is dont throw them away. Here in Eunice you can get turkey necks in a big bag, 3 and 5 lbs. Danny

I cook the turkey neck right in with the turkey. I simmer the gizzard and liver in water with a bit of butter and add it to the gravy. I had a delicious dark gravy this year. Now, I have to get ready and cook this dinner again for Christmas, we're having about 16 people. I'll drink heavily that day, get nervous with that many people for dinner. |

And yet another awful picture!![]() "With Irving Penn appearing so regularly in the pages of Vogue (see his portraits of Helmut Newton, Lee Bontecou, and Zaha Hadid in the March issue), a gallery show seems almost superfluous. But "Present Concerns," Penn's 18-piece roundup of new and newly printed old work, is not to be missed. Included among the flawlessly executed still lifes, nudes, and portraits made between 1947 and 2003 is one of the most alarming pictures yet of Karl Lagerfeld, his collar as archaic and constricting as the chastity belt in the image alongside. But the show's high point, and the most unforgettably witty photo in town right now, is the bodiless turkey reproduced here. I'd hesitate to call it a self-portrait, but Penn's elegant old bird regards us with such a knowing eye, at once accusatory and understanding, that he looks like he belongs behind the camera, too." |

Actually, he looks a lot like my grandfather (he died in 1992 at the age of 93). Same beak, same piercing gaze....same level of levity.... |
