Ingredients
  

For the turkey and seasoning
  • 4 pieces turkey wings thawed if previously frozen; wing sections are fine (drumette + flat)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin is fine for flavor and browning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a mellow, roasted garlic note
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder adds depth without fresh chopping
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika gives warmth and a hint of smokiness
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme earthy, slightly minty herb flavor
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed lightly to release oils
  • 1 teaspoon salt start with about 1 teaspoon; adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked, to taste
For braising and garnish
  • 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium recommended; adds moist cooking steam and flavor
  • 0.5 cup fresh parsley chopped, for brightness and color

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse turkey wings briefly under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the turkey wings to the bowl and turn to coat evenly in the seasoning mixture.
  5. Arrange the seasoned turkey wings in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour chicken broth around the wings.
Cooking
  1. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
  2. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 25-35 minutes, until golden brown and the meat is tender.
  3. Let the turkey wings rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

If you prefer fresh garlic and onion, swap the powders for minced garlic and onion. Use room-temperature wings for even cooking. For a crispier finish, switch to broil for 2-3 minutes after baking uncovered.
