Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole wings Turkey wings
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large (sliced) Yellow onion
- 1 medium (sliced) Green bell pepper
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Clean and pat dry the turkey wings with paper towels. Separate each wing into drumette and flat pieces if they are whole.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Rub this spice mix all over the turkey wings to season them thoroughly.
Lightly coat the seasoned turkey wings with all-purpose flour. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey wings for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Remove the seared turkey wings and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in about 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour from earlier and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and then add the Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and bay leaves.
Transfer the turkey wings to a large baking dish or casserole dish. Pour the prepared gravy with vegetables over the turkey wings, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the turkey wings are tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the dish from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the smothered turkey wings hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
