Ingredients
  

  • 4 large turkey wings about 4-5 lbs total
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 large onion sliced into thick rings
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • A pinch of cayenne if you like a little kick

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Wings Season Generously

  • Pat the turkey wings dry with paper towels first. Rub the wings all over with olive oil, then coat them in the spice blend

Step 2: Sear for Flavor

  • Heat a heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the wings on each side for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Build the Braising Base

  • Remove the wings and set them aside. Add onions and garlic to the same pan, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits.

Step 4: Combine and Cover

  • Return the wings to the pan. Pour in the broth, cover tightly with foil or a lid, and transfer to a 325°F oven.

Step 5: Uncover and Finish

  • Remove the cover for the final 20-30 minutes. This helps the skin crisp up slightly while the sauce reduces. Let the wings rest for 10 minutes off the heat.
