Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 turkey wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve a crispy skin on the turkey wings while ensuring they are cooked through.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey wings with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure each wing is well-coated with the oil and seasonings. This will enhance the flavor of the turkey wings.
- Place the seasoned turkey wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
- Roast the turkey wings in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). You can turn the wings halfway through cooking for even browning.
- While the turkey wings are roasting, prepare the creamy Marsala gravy. In a medium saucepan, add the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, allowing it to reduce slightly for about 10 minutes.
- Once the wine and broth have reduced, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the turkey wings are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This will help retain their juices.
- Serve the roasted turkey wings on a platter, drizzling the creamy Marsala gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious roasted turkey wings with creamy Marsala gravy alongside your favorite sides!
Tips
- • Always pat your turkey wings dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness • Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the perfect internal temperature of 165°F • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each wing space to roast evenly • Let the wings rest after cooking to retain their natural juices • For extra flavor, consider marinating the wings for 2-4 hours before roasting • Choose a good quality Marsala wine - it makes a significant difference in the gravy's depth of flavor • If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it with a little extra chicken broth • Fresh herbs make all the difference - don't skip the parsley garnish!
