I hardly notice many people that make turkey wings. I believe it’s becoming more common as we find ways to cook them to a consistency we like. Turkey be dry most times is way people stray away from it but I promise you smothered turkey wings is the way to go.
How to make Baked Turkey Wings
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place your turkey wings on a baking tray. Pat your turkey wings dry, brush them with olive oil, then season them with seasoning.
3. The wings are going to release their juices so you want them in a pan with sides so the juice doesn’t run over! Uncovered, place them oven.
4. Bake for 45 minutes on a baking rack so the turkey is not smothered in the juices yet can maintains its crispy skin.
5. When you remove them from the oven, you should have nice, crispy wings! Dress them just like you would chicken wings! Toss them in your favorite sauce with carrots and celery or eat them just like they are right out of the oven.
