Turkey tails are an often overlooked part of the bird that can be transformed into delicious and unique dishes. Here are some tasty meals and delicacies you can make with turkey tails:

Adobo Turkey Tails
The MeatEater website provides an excellent recipe for cooking turkey tails using the traditional Filipino adobo method. The tails are marinated in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and peppercorns, then braised until tender. The result is a rich, flavorful dish with the sour adobo sauce perfectly complementing the fatty meat.

Air Fried Turkey Tails (Adokougbi)
According to Savourous.com , turkey tails are a popular dish in Togolese cuisine known as Adokougbi. The tails are boiled or pressure cooked first, then air fried until crispy. They are typically served with hot pepper sauce and sides like fried yams, plantains, or garri.

Smoked Turkey Tails over Rice
Villari Foods  offers a recipe for smoked turkey tails seared and roasted in a Dutch oven with a homemade sauce made from the drippings, vegetables, and seasonings like thyme. The smoked tails are served over a bed of rice with the flavorful sauce spooned over top.

Turkey Tail Mushroom Dishes
While not the same as the poultry part, turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) can also make delicious dishes according to Foraged.com . They suggest using the fresh mushrooms in risottos, tacos, stroganoff, bisques, or simply sautéed with butter and herbs as a side dish.

Turkey tails may seem like an odd cut, but they are packed with flavor and can be the star ingredient in a variety of tasty international and regional dishes when prepared properly
