[Edit]Baked Turkey Wings

1. Preheat your oven to . Set the temperature on your oven as you start preparing your wings. Allow the oven to come to full temperature so it’s ready to go once your wings are seasoned.^[1]
   
   • Most ovens will beep or indicate that it’s reached the temperature you set.
2. Season the wings with oil, salt, and pepper. Place the wings in a mixing bowl or on a cutting board. Coat them with oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over them as seasoning.^[2]
   
   
   • You can use canola oil or vegetable oil to coat your wings. For a healthier option, use olive oil.
   • There's no specific measurements for salt and pepper. A light sprinkling should do the trick! You can always add more seasoning after the wings are cooked if you need to.
3. Place the wings in a casserole dish and add of water. Use a casserole baking dish, which is deeper than a baking sheet and will help keep the wings from drying out. Put the seasoned wings in the bottom of the dish, then add the water.^[3]
   
   
   • The water will steam up and also help keep the wings from drying out as they cook.
4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake the wings for 1.5 hours. Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the dish to cover it and help trap in moisture as they bake. Slide the dish into your oven on the center rack and set a timer.^[4]
   
   
   
   • Avoid checking on the wings as they bake so the moisture doesn’t escape.
   • Use the center rack of your oven so the hot air circulates around the dish and helps the wings cook evenly.
5. Remove the foil and bake the wings another hour. After an hour and a half, take the baking dish out of the oven and remove the aluminum foil. Slide the dish back into the oven and let the wings cook uncovered for another hour so they get nice and brown.^[5]
   
   
   • Don’t taste or serve the wings after you remove the foil! They need more time to fully cook.
6. Let the wings cool and cover them with sauce of your choosing. After the wings finish baking, remove the dish and place it on your counter or stovetop to cool down. If you want to add sauce, cover the wings and serve them while they’re still warm.^[6]
   
   
   
   • You could use a sweet barbecue sauce or a spicy Buffalo wing sauce for your turkey wings.
   • You can also enjoy the baked wings “naked” style without any sauce.
   • If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week.

[Edit]Braised Turkey Wings

1. Preheat your oven to . Set the temperature on your oven and turn it on to start preheating. Wait for it to fully heat up so it’s ready to go.^[7]
   
   • Allow your oven to preheat so your wings fully cook and cook evenly from the start.
2. Combine the Worcestershire sauce and seasonings in a bowl. Pour of Worcestershire sauce into a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons (45 g) of Cajun seasoning, 3 tablespoons (45 g) of granulated garlic, 3 tablespoons (45 g) of dried sage, 3 tablespoons (45 g) of dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of kosher salt into the sauce and use a spoon to stir it all together so it’s fully combined.^[8]
   
   
   • You can find Cajun-style seasoning at your local grocery store. You can also order some online.
3. Rub the mixture over the wings. Pour the mixture over your wings or add the wings into the bowl of sauce. Use your hands to work the mixture all over your wings so they’re fully covered. Coat the wings evenly in the sauce so they’re fully covered.^[9]
   
   
   • The sauce will add flavor and help keep the wings from drying out as they roast.
4. Place the celery and onions in a baking dish and set the wings on top. Use a baking dish that’s large enough to hold all of your wings. Line the bottom of the dish with 2 ribs celery diced and 1 small onion diced, then place your wings on top in a single layer so they cook evenly.^[10]
   
   
   • The celery and onion will cook down to add more flavor and juices.
5. Add the broth, cover the dish, and bake the wings for 1.5 hours. Carefully pour your chicken broth into the dish and use aluminum foil to cover the top of the dish. Slide the baking dish into your oven and let the wings bake undisturbed.^[11]
   
   
   • Set a timer and avoid checking the wings so the moisture doesn’t escape from the baking dish.
6. Remove the foil and roast the wings for 15 minutes. Take the baking dish out of the oven and remove the tin foil. Place the dish back in the oven and let the wings cook for another 15 minutes so skin browns and gets nice and crispy.^[12]
   
   
   
   • After the wings finish roasting, you can serve them!
   • Store leftover wings in a sealed container in your refrigerator for up to a week.
