- They’re intensely seasoned with a curated blend of dried herbs and spices! This recipe calls for plenty of paprika, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder. The addition of chicken or turkey broth yields even more flavor.
Key Ingredients
Turkey Wings – Arguably the best part of the turkey, they consist of juicy dark meat and are coated in a crispy skin. They’re a great alternative to roasting an entire turkey, and a whole lot cheaper too! Turkey wings are a great option for smaller families, or ones who simply prefer them over any other part of the bird (if this is you, I agree!).
Chicken or Turkey Broth – Once seasoned, broth is poured over the wings and into the baking dish. You’ll then cover the dish in foil before placing it in the oven. This allows the broth to to bubble and create flavorful steam which cooks the wings. The meat also absorbs much of this moisture, preventing them from drying out.
Chef’s Tips
- Feel free to save the pan drippings to turn into a delicious and intensely flavorful gravy! The liquid at the bottom of the baking dish is packed with flavor, which I would hate to see go to waste. Therefore, either turn it into a gravy or use it to baste your wings!
- Pat the turkey skin dry before seasoning and roasting. Dried skin will bake up even crispier in the oven, so don’t skip this very important first step!
- Keep in mind that turkey wings come in a variety of sizes, and different sizes can take different times to cook. In order to ensure your wings are cooked through, simply insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing. Once the thermometer reads 180° Fahrenheit, then they’re ready to enjoy!
