March 30 is National Turkey Neck Soup Day

Turkey Neck Soup

Here are today’s five thing to know about Turkey Neck Soup:

  1. The turkey is named “Tom”, because Ben Franklin always teased “Tom” Jefferson for not picking the turkey as the national bird
  2. The turkey was never a staple for native Americans because they were seen as weak.  They were only eaten in times of famine.
  3. Turkey chicks have a tendency to drown on rainwater.  They become curious about the phenomenon above their heads, and look until they drown.
  4. “Legend has it” in the 1800’s they cross-bred turkey and chicken into “turken”.
  5. All major documents signed in the founding of the United States used the quill (feather) of a turkey for their signing.

Fun Fact:

An old American way to celebrate the end of Winter and the promise of Spring.

Turkey Neck Soup is pretty much what it says – a soup whose stock is made from turkey necks.

The tough neck meat helps make soups richer.
