Smothered turkey wings in onion gravy

Turkey wings seared and braised low and slow in a rich onion gravy until tender.

The gravy that defines smothering

Turkey wings browned, then braised in a deep onion gravy until the meat slips off the bone — comfort with a capital C.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Season the wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven and brown the wings in batches; remove.
  3. Cook the onion in the same pot until soft, about 5 minutes; add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and cook 2 minutes; gradually whisk in the broth.
  5. Return the wings, add the thyme, bay leaf, and Worcestershire. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, until tender.
  6. Uncover and simmer 15 minutes to thicken the gravy. Serve over rice.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Split the wings at the joints so they cook evenly. This is a spoon-over-rice dish — make extra gravy.
