Here’s a delicious and flavorful Honey Garlic Turkey Wings recipe, perfect for a savory and sweet meal:
Ingredients:
- 4 large turkey wings, separated at the joints (drumettes and wingettes)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
- 2 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
- Fresh parsley or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Turkey Wings:
Rinse the turkey wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the wings with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder, making sure to coat them evenly. - Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or saltiness as needed. - Bake the Turkey Wings:
Place the seasoned turkey wings in a large baking dish or sheet pan. Pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the wings, coating them well. Reserve the remaining sauce for later. - Roast:
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the wings for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the sauce. After an hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). - Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
If you want a thicker sauce, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water. Heat the remaining honey garlic sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. - Glaze and Serve:
Once the wings are done, brush them with the thickened sauce or the remaining honey garlic sauce for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions. - Serve:
Serve the honey garlic turkey wings with your favorite side dishes like rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Enjoy the sweet and savory goodness of these Honey Garlic Turkey Wings!
