How to make smothered Turkey wings

These smothered turkey wings may take an hour to bake, but the prep time is minimal, and not only are they delicious, but they are also super easy to make because all the magic happens in the oven. No stovetop!

• You’ll need a few ingredients such as paprika, minced garlic, chicken bouillon, with vegetables like bell peppers and celery, and red pepper flakes for that extra spicy kick. 
• The Turkey wings are then generously massaged with spices and carefully arranged inside a deep baking dish. 
• Chicken broth is then poured inside the baking dish, covered with a foil, and baked until the flavor goes deep into the wings. 
• Bake at 350 – 375 degrees, depending on the quantity. After one hour of baking, remove the foil paper and bake for an additional thirty minutes. Then the smothered turkey will be golden brown on the surface, flavorful, and fork-tender.

• Combine all the ingredients for the gravy. Mix till all the flour is completely dissolved
• Pour inside the baking pan. Avoid washing away all the seasoning.

Notes

• I divided the wings into wingettes and Drummettes. Just a personal preference. You may choose not to divide it if you don’t want to.
• As always, there are variations that you can make to this recipe. To begin with, you can omit the bell peppers and replace with Carrots or mushrooms.
• This recipe is for 3 lbs wings if you are cooking for more people, simply double or triple the recipe. Likewise, you may divide the recipe if cooking for a lesser group of people.
• If you like more gravy, feel free to double the recipe of the flour mixture.
