Where's my neck???

I opened up the turkey to start simmering the giblets, and WTF?? No neck! I like the neck meat in my giblet gravy, thank you very much! Too fucking late now.

Asshats. That would be Jennie-O turkeys.

Did you check the other end?

Sometimes they stuff the giblets up the ass-end and the neckbone down the neck end. It can also work its way pretty deep in there. Really reach in there and feel around at both ends. I bet it’s in there someplace.

:dubious: :rolleyes: :smack: :eek: :smiley:

All these emotions at once when reading 2 little posts. Neverwouldathunkit.

I felt up both ends, trust me. I think I’ll go re-check though. BRB.

I’m such a :wally . It was still partially frozen inside there! And that flap of fat was on top of it. Thanks for getting me to look again.

Yay, success. :slight_smile:

That’s happened to me before, so don’t feel bad… I was even going to mention that if they’re still partially frozen they can feel like they’re just part of the turkey.

Another Thanksgiving saved by the canny members of the SDMB!!

This sort of thing just makes me tear up with joy! :smiley:

I’m so happy for you, Q the M. :wink:

Hey, on the plus side, at least you got some action from a turkey.

Yeah, I’ve felt up a turkey or two in my time, as well…

What?!

I just feel so dirty. And jayjay wasn’t even around!

Is it getting warm in here? Or is it just the oven heating up the room?? :wink:

Shhhhh…Auntie Em will have both of our 'nads…
