Let’s cook!
🥣 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
2–3 pounds turkey wings (whole or split)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or any cooking oil)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon paprika
1 cup chicken broth (or water + bouillon)
1 onion, sliced
Optional extras:
1 tablespoon soy sauce (boosts flavor)
1 tablespoon butter (adds richness)
Bell peppers, sliced
Fresh herbs
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep the Turkey Wings
Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels.
Dry wings = better browning.
Place them in a large bowl.
2. Season Generously
Drizzle wings with olive oil.
Sprinkle on:
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Poultry seasoning
Thyme
Rub everything in so the wings are evenly coated.
3. Add Onions & Arrange in a Baking Dish
Place sliced onions on the bottom of a baking dish.
Lay the turkey wings on top.
This helps the wings stay juicy and adds flavor.
4. Add Broth
Pour chicken broth around (not directly on top of) the wings.
You want them to stay seasoned while cooking.
5. Bake Covered
Cover the dish with foil.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This makes the wings tender and juicy.
6. Uncover & Crisp
Remove the foil.
Bake for another 20–30 minutes to brown the skin and deepen the flavor.
If you want them extra crispy, broil for 2–3 minutes — but watch closely!

⭐ Tips for the Best Turkey Wings
Always dry wings before seasoning — it helps the spices stick.
Add a splash of soy sauce for deeper flavor.
Use smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
If your wings are huge, cut them at the joint for faster cooking.
Broth in the pan keeps them from drying out.
