Roasted Turkey Wings Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by separating turkey wings at the joints, allowing the marinade and heat to penetrate evenly. The wings are coated with olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and a flavorful dry rub of choice, then placed in a roasting pan. Hot chicken stock is poured around the wings to keep them moist during baking.
The wings are first roasted covered with aluminum foil at 400°F (200°C) for one hour to cook the meat through gently. Removing the foil allows the skin to crisp and brown during an additional 45 minutes uncovered. This method ensures moist, tender turkey wings with a well-seasoned, crisp exterior.
The dish pairs well with sides that complement roasted poultry. Adjust seasoning and cooking time based on wing size and personal taste. Using a lemon pepper dry rub or other preferred spice blends can tailor the flavor profile.
The recipe notes that roasting time may vary according to wing size, and offers suggestions for rub choices. Wings weighing about 600g are mentioned as an example portion.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs turkey wings 2 kg, Note 1
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon dry rub Note 2, of choice
- 1 cup chicken stock 250 ml, Note 3
Instructions
- 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 the joint to release the wing parts completely.4 lbs turkey wings/ 2 kg
- Season: Place the wing sections into a large (deeper) roasting tin. Rub them well with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry rub, and use your hands to coat them completely with the spices.2 tablespoons olive oil + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper + 1 tablespoon dry rub of choice
- 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.1 cup chicken stock
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for 45 minutes or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy (Note 4).
- Check internal temperature: If the wings are larger, prolong the cooking time until the turkey's internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit/ 74 degrees Celsius. Check that with an instant-read thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part of a wing; the meat should be soft, and the juices should run clear.
Notes
- Adjust roasting time according to the size of turkey wings for proper doneness.
- Use lemon pepper, sweet paprika, or your favorite dry rub blend for seasoning.
- Roast the wings covered initially with chicken stock to keep them moist, then uncovered to crisp the skin.
- Portions of approximately 600 g per wing were used in this recipe example.
