Turkey Wings

Here’s a recipe for delicious, tender turkey wings:

Ingredients:

• 4 turkey wings
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
• 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Turkey Wings:
   • Wash and pat dry the turkey wings.
   • In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
   • Rub the turkey wings with olive oil and then coat them with the seasoning mix, making sure they are evenly covered.
3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
   • Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium heat.
   • Add a little more olive oil, then sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Brown the Turkey Wings:
   • Place the seasoned turkey wings in the pan with the onions and garlic.
   • Sear them on both sides until they are nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Bake the Turkey Wings:
   • Pour the chicken or turkey broth into the pan with the turkey wings.
   • Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
   • Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the turkey wings are tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
6. Optional: Thicken the Gravy:
   • If you’d like to thicken the sauce into a gravy, remove the turkey wings from the pan after baking.
   • Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce in the pan.
   • Place the pan on the stove over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the turkey wings hot, drizzled with the gravy. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Enjoy your flavorful and tender turkey wings!
