How to make Baked Turkey Wings:
Preparing this recipe is easy and takes only a few minutes. It starts with seasoning the turkey wings. The easiest way is to use a zip-top bag. I dry-pat the wings before placing them in the bag. Add in your neutral oil and then the seasoning mixture.
What do you season turkey wings with?
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Poultry seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
Everything is combined with the turkey wings in a bag and tossed to coat. Now, refrigerate the seasoned wings overnight for the BEST flavor. However, if you’re pressed for time, you can start making the wings now.
Next, put onions and celery in the bottom of a baking dish. These vegetables serve 2 purposes. They not only add flavor to the turkey wings but also serve as a rack to raise the wings and circulate air around them.
Now you can lay your turkey wings over the vegetables. To avoid crowding the wings, try to leave as much space as you can between them. For lack of a better word, crowding can result in areas that don’t roast well and stay “mushy.”
Additionally, you should pour some chicken broth into the dish’s bottom. This will ensure that the baked turkey wings cook up juicy and delicious. You could also substitute vegetable or turkey broth.
You can now bake your turkey wings in the oven after adding the broth. To ensure that the wings stay moist while cooking, make sure to tightly cover the dish with aluminum foil.
