Turkey Wings And Rice Food

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.

TURKEY WINGS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot.
• Thoroughly wash and dry the turkey wings. Fry the wings in the oil, over medium high heat, turning, until they begin to brown on both sides.
• Remove the wings; add the flour to the pot and stir as it browns. When the flour is brown, add the wings, bell pepper, onion, and warm water, and bring to a boil,stirring occasionally.
• Add thyme, salt, and pepper shortly after the pot starts to boil.
• Turkey wings should cook until they are tender, 45 to 60 minutes or more.
• Add warm water as needed to maintain a rich gravy.
• Serve with rice or potatoes,or just eat them alone.

ROAST TURKEY WITH WILD RICE, SAUSAGE, AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• For the stuffing: Combine the wild rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and just bursting, about 30 minutes. (Times may very depending on the brand of rice used.) Drain and set aside.
• Adjust an oven rack to lowest position and remove other racks. Preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apple, celery, garlic, thyme, mace, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it loses most of its rosy color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the cooked wild rice, pecans, and parsley into the vegetable mixture. (This can be made the day before.)
• For the turkey: Remove turkey parts from neck and breast cavities and reserve for other uses, if desired. Dry bird well with paper towels, inside and out. Melt the butter together with the poultry seasoning. Salt and pepper inside the bird cavity. Loosely add the stuffing to the cavity and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, breast-side up, and brush generously with the seasoned butter, then season with salt and pepper. Tent the top of the bird with foil.
• Roast the turkey for about 2 hours undisturbed. Remove and discard the foil. Baste with the remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and tent with foil for 15 minutes before carving.

SLOW COOKER SMOTHERED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Season turkey wings the night before with the seasoning of your choice. I use a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Refrigerate until morning.
• Arrange cut up vegetables, bay leaves and garlic in bottom of a slow cooker.
• Sprinkle 1 packet of turkey gravy mix on top of vegetables and stir to coat.
• Pour 1/2 cup water over vegetables.
• Place turkey wings on top of vegetables and sprinkle remaining turkey gravy powder over turkey wings.
• Cook the turkey wings in the slow cooker on low before leaving for work in the morning and when you return home in the evening your turkey wings will be tender and simmering in their own rich gravy.
• This is great served over hot white rice.

WILD RICE STUFFING FOR TURKEY

Steps:

• Dissolve 3 cubes bouillon in 1 cup hot water. In a medium saucepan, combine wild rice with bouillon water, then fill with just enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix remaining 1 cube bouillon in 1 cup hot water. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in celery and green pepper; cook until tender. Mix in remaining bouillon water. Pour skillet contents into a large bowl. Stir together cooked rice, croutons, and poultry seasoning.
• Stuff turkey loosely, and cook turkey as directed. Or put stuffing into a well greased baking dish, cover, and bake 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (165 degree C).
