🦃 Juicy Baked Turkey Wings Recipe
🛒 Ingredients
For the Turkey Wings:
- 1 lb turkey wings
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Creole seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic herb seasoning
- 1 tbsp Maggi seasoning (or soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp oil (avocado or vegetable)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
For the Gravy:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (or more for desired thickness)
🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Turkey Wings
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray or rub turkey wings with oil, then season well with Creole seasoning, garlic herb seasoning, and minced garlic.
Toss the wings with sliced onions and Maggi seasoning in a large bowl.
2. Bake Covered
Transfer wings and onions to a greased 9×9 baking dish.
In the same bowl, mix 1½ cups chicken broth with the leftover seasoning, then pour over the wings.
Add butter slices on top, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
3. Uncover & Crisp the Skin
Remove foil and baste the wings with pan juices.
Increase oven temp to 400°F (204°C) and bake uncovered for 20 more minutes, until skin is golden and slightly crispy.
4. Make the Gravy
Pour the pan drippings into a small pot. Add 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a splash of cold water, then stir into the pot.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Strain if desired for a smooth finish.
5. Serve
Pour that silky homemade gravy over the wings.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
💡 Pro Tips
Want extra richness? Add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy.
For spicier wings, toss in a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
Always taste your gravy before serving—adjust salt or seasoning if needed!
