🥩 What is a turkey hock? Turkey hock is the lower part of the turkey leg, characterized by a large amount of tender meat and low fat content. Unlike pork hock, it is lighter, quicker to prepare, and has a more subtle flavor that pairs excellently with both intense spices and light vegetable sides. It’s a versatile meat – ideal for roasting, braising, and also cooking in broth. Thanks to long heat treatment, it becomes exceptionally tender and juicy.
