Preparing the Turkey Wings
Cleaning and Marinating
Before getting started with the recipe, make sure to clean the turkey wings thoroughly by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Next, marinate the wings in your preferred seasoning blend for at least an hour or overnight in the refrigerator. This will infuse the wings with flavor and ensure they are tender and juicy.
Baking the Wings
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated wings on the sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This will ensure that the wings are evenly cooked and crispy on both sides.
Making the Gravy
Collecting the Drippings
While the wings are baking, place a roasting pan under the turkey in the oven to catch the drippings. These drippings will be the base for our flavorful gravy.
Making the Roux
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and set it aside to rest. In the meantime, take the roasting pan with the drippings and place it on the stove over medium heat. Add in some flour and use a whisk to mix it with the drippings, creating a roux. This will thicken the gravy and give it a smooth consistency.
Adding Flavor
Next, slowly pour in some chicken broth and continue whisking until the gravy reaches your desired thickness. You can also add in some herbs and spices such as rosemary, thyme, and black pepper to enhance the flavor of the gravy. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serving and Enjoying
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Place the wings on a platter and pour the gravy over them, making sure to coat each wing with the delicious sauce. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy a delightful Thanksgiving meal with your loved ones.
Now that you have the perfect recipe for baked turkey wings with gravy drippings, impress your guests with this unique and flavorful dish. Don't forget to save some for yourself, as these wings are sure to be a hit and won't last long on the dinner table. Happy Thanksgiving!
