Ingredients
- 4 large turkey wings (about 2 kg), fresh and plump
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic)
- 1 tbsp onion powder (or finely minced shallots)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 1 tsp salt (or kosher salt)
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh thyme)
- 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (or vinegar)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, chicken broth, and lemon juice.
4. Toss the turkey wings in the marinade until evenly coated.
5. Let the wings marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
7. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer, skin side up.
8. Pour any remaining marinade over the wings.
9. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
11. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
12. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) before removing from the oven.
Notes
Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels to help achieve a crispy skin during baking.
Rub olive oil generously and listen for the sizzle when it meets the pan—this adds depth of flavor.
Letting the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes ensures maximum flavor.
