Ingredients

4 - 6 turkey wings depending on size
1 cup turkey broth or chicken broth
½ cup sweet onion chopped
1 teaspoon garlic finely minced
2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt or table salt
1 teaspoon sweet paprika or smoked paprika

Instructions

Add the powdered ginger, black pepper, sea salt, and sweet paprika to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Pat the turkey wings dry with a paper towel then place them on a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, carefully split the turkey wings by separating the wings into drumettes and wingettes with the wing tip still attached or removed.
*If you remove the wing tips, save them for turkey soup.
Season the wing pieces on both sides with the dry seasoning mixture. Let them sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
If time permits let the pieces marinate in the refrigerator for 2 -12 hours. If you do this step, make sure to let the turkey wings come to room temperature before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and chopped onions to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the turkey broth to the bowl and mix to combine.
Pour the broth mixture into the roasting pan.
Place the turkey wings on top of the mixture.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of the preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, and carefully remove the aluminum foil, being careful not to get burned by escaping steam.
Baste the turkey parts with melted butter and return to the oven to continue roasting for and additional 30 minutes. Leaving the pan uncovered to allow the skin to get brown and crispy.
Remove the pan from the oven and, using an instant-read thermometer, check to make sure you've reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees in the thickest part of the wing.
Let the turkey wings rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow time for the juices to redistribute.
Serve the turkey wings with mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, and green beans or your favorite sides.
You can also coat the wings with your favorite buffalo sauce for buffalo turkey wings.

Notes

I love the delicious flavor the ginger adds to the wings, but you can use your favorite seasonings instead. Poultry seasoning and fresh herbs would make a nice addition, and if you want to change up the flavors, cajun seasoning, Italian seasonings or lemon pepper are excellent choices. For a little heat add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dry rub, or for a touch of sweetness add brown sugar.

*If you'd rather not use fresh onion or garlic in my easy recipe, you can substitute onion powder and garlic powder.
