Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 Turkey Wing Portions (cut in half, 8–10 total)
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Celery Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Mustard
- 1 Large Onion (sliced)
- 1 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
- 1 Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
- 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (sliced thinly)
- 2 tsp Avocado Oil
Instructions
- Prep your wings: Rinse your turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Season the wings: In a large bowl, add your turkey wings and sprinkle with all-purpose seasoning, poultry seasoning, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, celery salt, and ground mustard. Toss until coated and marinate for 30 minutes if possible.
- Sear the wings: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned turkey wings in batches and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add unsalted butter to the pan, then toss in sliced onions and bell peppers along with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Combine and simmer: Return the turkey wings to the pot, layer over sautéed vegetables, pour enough water or chicken broth to nearly cover the wings, and simmer for 1.5 – 2 hours.
- Add more richness: After 1 hour of simmering, add remaining butter and adjust seasoning.
- Thicken the gravy: If desired, use a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water to thicken the gravy about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot on a large shallow bowl, drizzling plenty of gravy over the top.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed rice to soak up the gravy. You can also add fresh herbs for garnish.
