Cooking Turkey Hearts

BEFORE COOKING:

Before cooking, trim the veins, arteries, and fat from the turkey hearts, cut them in half, and rinse thoroughly.

COOKING:

Place them into boiling water. Simmer on low heat for 40–60 minutes. If making broth, skim off the foam (a brownish foam formed from coagulated proteins) during the first 10–15 minutes to ensure clarity. After 20 minutes from boiling, you may add a whole peeled and washed onion. Add your favorite seasonings, e.g., pepper, marjoram, allspice, bay leaf. Finally, salt to taste. Cook covered until a knife or fork can easily pierce the hearts.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve the turkey hearts with boiled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or cereals, seasoning to taste.

Enjoy your meal!
