Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub a piece of lemon over the turkey wing, then lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- During the last 30 minutes, raise the oven temperature to 450°F to brown the turkey wings.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the turkey wings overnight in a mixture of vinegar, mustard, and hot sauce. You can substitute apple cider vinegar for a slightly sweeter taste. If you want a spicier kick, add more hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving Suggestions
These baked turkey wings can be served with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. For a refreshing contrast, pair with a light salad like Jello Waldorf Salad. You can also serve with a dipping sauce made from mustard and hot sauce for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover turkey wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also use a microwave, but the oven will help keep the skin crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen turkey wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen turkey wings, but make sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before cooking. This ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption from the marinade.
What can I do if the wings aren't browning as expected?
If the wings aren't browning after the initial cooking time, you can broil them for a few minutes at the end. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Adjusting the oven temperature can also help achieve a nice golden color.
Can I add vegetables to the baking dish?
Absolutely! Adding vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions to the baking dish can enhance the flavor of the turkey wings and create a complete meal. Just make sure to adjust cooking times accordingly depending on the size of the vegetables.
