Ingredients

• 125 g. bacon
• 2 turkey necks
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 2 cups Onion (medium dice)
• 1 cup Celery (medium dice)
• 1 cup Carrot (medium dice)
• 1 small bunch Fresh Thyme
• 2 Bay Leafs
• 8 tablespoons Flour
• 4 cups Turkey Stock
• 4 cups white wine

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook up bacon until crispy. Put bacon aside for another recipe. Put bacon grease in a stock pot. Heat to medium high heat. Add turkey necks and brown on all sides.
2. Remove the turkey necks from the pot and add the butter to the pot. When the butter has melted add the onion, celery, carrot, thyme and bay leaf with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, until all of the vegetables are aromatic and slightly caramelized.
3. Next stir in the flour to coat the vegetables and absorb the butter. Add the turkey necks back to the pan. Whisk in the turkey stock and wine and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes.
4. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and keep warm.
