Smothered turkey wings are a southern style, fall of the bone recipe with tender turkey wings smothered in a flavorful gravy.
Equipment
- Dutch oven or roasting pan
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds turkey wings
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 4 cup chicken broth
Turkey Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- First, mix all the seasoning ingredients together and chop up the veggies. Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Using the seasoning, season the turkey wings with the mix. You can pack in on heavy because some will fall off in the cooking process.
- Place the turkey wings in a roasting pan or in the dutch oven and bake for 60 minutes uncovered. In the dutch oven it is alright to stack them.
- When the 60 minutes up use the dripping and carefully transfer them to a sauce pan to prepare the gravy. If using a dutch oven just remove the turkey wings and place the pot on top of the stove. Note, if there isn't enough drippings add oil because some turkey wings can be dry.
- Bring drippings to a medium high heat and add in the chopped onion, bell pepper and celery. Cook these until they have softened a little and the onions are translucent. Lower the heat to medium and toss flour on top of the cooked veggies.
- Next, mix the flour within the veggies. The pan should look very dry, this is also why you lower the heat to avoid burning. Now, slowly pour in chicken broth making sure the flour is mixing with the broth to avoid lumps.
- Then, toss in a bouillon cube and allow the mix to simmer long enough to melt the cube.
- Now, if using a dutch oven add the turkey wings back in and cover with the lid. Place the dutch oven in the oven and allow the wings to simmer for 60 minutes. If using a roasting pan, carefully pour the gravy over the turkey wings then cover the roasting pan with foil, bake 60 minutes.
- After the time is up remove the smothered turkey wings and allow them to cool before serving.
