Baked Turkey Wings

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s hot and ready by the time your wings are prepped.
  2. Make the Seasoning Blend
    • In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and thyme.
    • Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Season the Turkey Wings
    • Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp.
    • Rub the wings all over with olive oil or melted butter.
    • Coat generously with the spice blend. Make sure every nook and cranny is seasoned.
  4. Prepare the Baking Dish
    • Scatter chopped onions and minced garlic evenly across the bottom of a large baking dish.
    • Lay the seasoned wings on top of the onion and garlic layer.
    • Pour the broth into the dish around the wings, not directly over them.
  5. Bake Covered
    • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap in moisture.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  6. Uncover and Crisp
    • After 1 hour, remove the foil carefully.
    • Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.
    • This allows the skin to brown and crisp while the inside remains juicy.
  7. Optional Broil for Extra Crispness
    • If you love ultra-crispy skin, broil the wings for 3–5 minutes at the end of the bake time.
    • Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Rest and Serve
    • Remove the wings from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
    • Spoon some of the pan juices over the top before serving.
