Smothered Turkey Wings

Ingredients

• 4 Turkey wings (Cleaned; approximately 3–4 lb total)
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil (Divided; for seasoning and optional browning)
• Kosher salt (To taste; one of the seasonings shown on screen, amount not provided)
• Black pepper (To taste; one of the seasonings shown on screen, amount not provided)
• Garlic powder (Amount not provided; inferred as a likely seasoning from the unavailable on-screen list)
• Onion powder (Amount not provided; inferred as a likely seasoning from the unavailable on-screen list)
• Paprika (Amount not provided; inferred as a likely seasoning from the unavailable on-screen list)
• 1 Yellow onion (Sliced)
• 1 Bell pepper (Sliced; color not specified)
• 2 cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth (For the gravy)
• 1 can Cream of chicken and herb soup (Can size not stated; approximately 10.5 oz / 298 g)
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening the gravy)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a large baking dish. Clean and pat the turkey wings dry so the seasoning adheres well.

2. 2

   Drizzle the turkey wings with the avocado oil. Add the seasonings shown in the source—salt, black pepper, and any additional seasoning blend used—and massage them thoroughly into every wing until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Slice the onion and bell pepper. Add them to the bowl with the seasoned turkey wings and toss so the vegetables are distributed around the wings.

4. 4

   For the optional browning step, heat a little avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey wings and brown them for about 1 minute per side. This is only to build flavor; the wings should not be cooked through yet. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet.

5. 5

   Make the gravy by whisking together the reduced-sodium chicken broth, cream of chicken and herb soup, and all-purpose flour in a bowl until completely smooth and no visible flour lumps remain.

6. 6

   Arrange a layer of the sliced onion and bell pepper in the bottom of the baking dish.

7. 7

   Place the seasoned, optionally browned turkey wings on top of the vegetables in a single layer.

8. 8

   Pour the gravy evenly over the turkey wings and vegetables, making sure the wings are well coated.

9. 9

   Cover the baking dish tightly with foil or its lid. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1½ hours, until the wings are substantially tender.

10. 10

    Uncover the dish and, if a noticeable layer of excess oil has collected on the surface, carefully skim some of it off with a spoon.

11. 11

    Return the uncovered dish to the oven and bake for 1 more hour, until the turkey is very tender and falling from the bone and the gravy is hot and thickened.

12. 12

    Serve the smothered turkey wings with the vegetables and gravy. The source suggests green beans and a cornbread roll as accompaniments.
