Turkey wings are a flavorful and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. They are larger and meatier than chicken wings, with a rich, savory flavor that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and sauces. Here’s a general description of how to cook turkey wings:
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the wings with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Place the seasoned turkey wings in a single layer in a baking dish or roasting pan. You can also add vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery to the pan to add flavor.
Cover the baking dish or roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake the turkey wings in the preheated oven for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the turkey wings with your favorite barbecue sauce, glaze, or marinade, and return them to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and the wings are browned.
Once cooked, remove the turkey wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the turkey wings hot, with additional sauce or gravy on the side if desired.
Turkey wings are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed on their own or served with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, or green beans. They are perfect for a holiday meal or any time you’re craving a hearty and flavorful dish.
Ingredients :
- 2 Lbs Turkey Wings
- 1 Cup Onions, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 Cup Green Peppers, coarsely chopped
- 4 Tbs Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tbs Butter
- 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 10 oz Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup
- 3 Cups of Turkey Broth
- 1 Tbs Salt
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Sage
- 1/2 Tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 Tsp Dried Rosemary
- 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the crockpot: Turn the crockpot to high heat and close the lid.
Season both sides of the turkey wings with all the seasonings (except the Rosemary & Thyme).
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add in the oil.
After 2 minutes, add in the turkey wings and sear on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove and add them to the crockpot.
Add the butter, onions, and peppers to the skillet and saute for 2 minutes, then remove and add to the crockpot with the turkey wings.
Slurry for gravy: In a big bowl, combine the turkey broth, cream of chicken, and flour, then stir well.
Pour the slurry into the crockpot over the turkey wings.
Sprinkle in the Rosemary & Thyme, cover with the lid, and cook for 3-1/2 hours.
Notes:
This method will also work for turkey legs and chicken legs.
For really crispy skin, when you take the baking dish out of the oven and remove the foil, transfer the turkey wings to a baking sheet fitted with a wire baking rack, then return the wings to the oven to bake uncovered 15-20 minutes.
The heat in the oven will be able to circulate around the wings on the baking rack, giving them a crispier skin.
Be sure to cook the wings to a food-safe temperature of 165° Fahrenheit.
Use an internal meat thermometer to ensure the wings are fully cooked before serving.
