Tender As Can Be Turkey Wings Drumsticks And Necks Food

BAKED TURKEY WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Separate the turkey wings at the joint if they are not already divided. Cut the skin and meat around the joint to reveal it slightly. Grab the wing with both hands and break it at the joint. The two parts will still be attached here and there. Retake the knife and cut around to release them completely.
• Season: Place the wing sections into a large (deeper) roasting tin. Rub them well with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry rub, and use your hands to coat them completely with the spices.
• Bake covered: Pour the hot stock into the tin around the wings so that the spices are not washed away. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.
• Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for 45 minutes or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
• Check internal temperature: If the wings are larger, prolong the cooking time until the turkey's internal temperature is 74 degrees Celsius/ 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check that with a meat thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part of a wing, the meat should be soft, and the juices should run clear.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250F (low). Heat 1 tbsp butter and the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet (or transfer to 9x13 after browning) over medium high heat.
• Add wings and drumsticks only. Sear outside to brown, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Add necks so that all the meat is single layer in the pan. Season well with remaining butter, salt, and black pepper. (Brush with BBQ sauce now if using).
• Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil and bake for about 3 1/2 hours (4 hrs if using legs).
• Carefully remove lid (watch for steam). Enjoy.

SMOTHERED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• For the wings: Pat the turkey wings completely dry and place them onto a work surface or cutting board. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper in a medium bowl; generously rub all over the turkey wings, making sure to pick up whatever falls onto the board and sprinkle back onto the turkey (it may look like too much seasoning, but it will flavor the turkey and the gravy so don't skimp!).
• Transfer the wings to the prepared baking sheet. Add 2 cups water to the bottom of the baking sheet and tightly wrap foil over the wings and baking sheet. Bake until the wings are cooked through and just slightly tender but unable to pull away with a fork, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the gravy: Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper, onion, celery, garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with the flour and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the stock, stirring constantly until no lumps remain from the flour. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
• Unwrap the wings and carefully nestle them into the gravy using tongs. Tightly cover the skillet with foil and simmer until the wings are completely tender and the meat can easily be pulled away with a fork, about 25 minutes. Pour the heavy cream into the gravy around the turkey and gently mix with a spoon as much as you can. Let simmer until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
