I think that turkey wings are an underrated food. Chicken wings are loved by everyone, and for good reason, but no one ever talks about turkey wings.

But here’s some good news: turkey wings are just as delicious as chicken wings! They’re just a bit bigger and have that notable turkey flavor.

This recipe for baked turkey wings is one of my favorite turkey dishes. The meat is incredibly juicy, and the spice mix is bursting with flavor. Baking the wings with onions and peppers adds a lot of extra flavor, and chicken broth keeps the meat tender and moist.

It doesn’t hurt that this is a super easy recipe to make. There’s barely anything to it, so you can have melt-in-your-mouth turkey with minimal effort. If you like turkey then you have got to give this recipe a try.

Why You’ll Love These Juicy Turkey Wings

Here are a few of the things that I love about this recipe. I’m confident that you’ll love it just as much as I do.

Perfectly cooked. We’ve all had the misfortune of having an overcooked turkey at Thanksgiving once or twice. Turkey gets very chewy when overcooked, and it dries out easily. But these wings are cooked to perfection. By adding some chicken broth as a baking liquid, the wings stay tender and moist throughout the cooking process.
Amazing spice blend. The star of this recipe is the spice blend. The different spices combine to make this turkey so flavorful. Since turkey is a lean meat, it can take a lot of seasoning, and this recipe lives up to that.
So easy. This is such a simple recipe to make. All you really have to do is season the turkey, add it to a baking dish with some onions, peppers, and broth, and throw it in the oven for a while. And just like that, you have an amazing dinner!

How to Make Baked Turkey Wings

Here’s how to make this easy turkey recipe.

Prep. Preheat your oven to 350F.
Season the turkey. Place the turkey wings in a bowl with the oil and the spices. Mix until the meat is well-coated.
Add the veggies. Place the onions, peppers, and turkey wings in a baking dish.
Pour over the broth. Mix the water with the broth paste, then pour the chicken stock into the baking dish.
Bake. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Baste. Take the foil off of the baking dish, and use a spoon to pour the baking liquid over the top of the turkey.

Tips and Tricks

Here are some tricks for you to use when you make this tender turkey recipe.

Have your butcher portion the turkey. You can cut whole turkey wings into the drums and flats at home (similar to how you cut chicken wings), but it’s easier to let a butcher do it. When you go to the butcher to purchase turkey wings, ask them to also separate the meat for you.
Add garnishes. Garnishes are a great way to take this baked turkey recipe to the next level. I recommend garnishing with some fresh parsley, as well as some sprigs of rosemary or thyme. They’ll make the turkey wings look better, but more importantly, they’ll make them taste better.
Get some good color. You may have to adjust the time in the broiler based on your oven. But make sure that you broil the turkey wings until they get some good color on them. You want the wings to be a little brown, as that gives them a better texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Anytime I serve baked turkey wings they’re guaranteed to be the star of the meal. But I still like to add some side dishes to eat with them. Here are a few of my favorites:

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

You can keep leftover turkey wings in the fridge for 4 days, as long as you store them in an airtight container. Reheat in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, or in the microwave on high power in 30-second increments.

Can I Freeze This Recipe?

You can definitely freeze these baked turkey wings. Just store them in an airtight container and they’ll last in the freezer for 3 months. Make sure to fully defrost or thaw them before you reheat them.
