Turkey Neck Pot-au-Feu

Cultural Context

Pot-au-feu, meaning 'pot on the fire', is a traditional French stew that embodies the essence of rustic cooking. Originating from the rural kitchens of France, it was a way to make the most of available ingredients, often using tougher cuts of meat that would become tender through slow cooking. Turkey necks, while less common in classic recipes, add a unique flavor and richness to this dish, making it a comforting meal. Today, variations exist globally, with many cultures adapting the concept of a hearty, simmered stew.
