Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing and patting the turkey wings dry with paper towels. Coat them in olive oil, then rub the seasoning blend over each wing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated turkey wings and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then add the sliced yellow onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. Sprinkle flour into the sautéed veggies, stirring to create a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and thicken for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a baking dish, arrange seared turkey wings in a single layer, and pour thickened gravy and sautéed vegetables over them. Cover tightly with foil.
  6. Place the covered dish in the oven and bake for 2 to 2.5 hours, basting halfway through to keep the wings moist.
  7. Allow the turkey wings to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Marinating overnight allows for deeper flavor infusion. Properly searing the wings enhances overall taste. Adjust gravy salt and add broth when reheating for smooth texture.
