Ingredients
  

For the Turkey Wings
  • 4 pieces Turkey wings Adjust depending on the number of servings
  • 1 cup Flour For coating
  • 1 medium Onion Sliced for flavor
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 cups Chicken broth Or stock, as the base for the gravy
  • to taste Seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, etc.) Adjust to personal preference
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking oil For frying
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For the gravy

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse and pat the turkey wings dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices.
  2. Dredge the seasoned wings in flour, shaking off any excess.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey wings and brown them on all sides for about 3-5 minutes each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth gradually while scraping any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer and return the turkey wings to the skillet.
  4. Cover the skillet and let wings simmer on low heat for about 30 - 40 minutes, or until the wings are tender and the gravy thickens.
  5. Serve the smothered turkey wings hot, spooning plenty of gravy over rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

If time permits, marinate the turkey wings in spices for deeper flavor. For thicker gravy, whisk cornstarch with water and add it towards the end of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for longer preservation.
