Main Ingredients
  • 4-6 pieces turkey wings Ensure they are Halal-certified.
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 piece bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 2 cups chicken broth Ensure it's Halal.
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or olive)
  • 2 leaf bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • to taste Salt Add according to preference.
  • to taste Pepper Add according to preference.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional) For added flavor.
  • to garnish Fresh parsley (optional) For garnish before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey wings and brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the turkey wings and set them aside. In the same pot, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the bay leaves and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Return the turkey wings to the pot, ensuring they’re covered with the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes.
  5. Once done, remove the bay leaves, serve the turkey wings over rice or mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For substitutions, chicken thighs or drumsticks can work as great alternatives. Be careful with the seasoning amounts, adding more as necessary. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
