The Best Baked Turkey Wings
These crispy baked turkey wings are super tender and juicy, yet they have a perfectly crispy skin that's just so, so good. Honestly, I could eat them without any seasonings, but the seasoning blend in this recipe makes them even more addictive to eat.
Along with being delicious though, this baked turkey wings recipe is incredibly easy to make. All you really have to do is mix up the spices and seasonings, coat the turkey wings in 'em, and then let the wings bake in the oven.
Yep, that's all there is to it.
Now, I really love making these turkey wings for a different style of turkey dinner - I mean ther dark meat is always the best, right? - so I like to serve them with these twice baked mashed potatoes. With that said, they go well with a variety of sides and are, of course, just as delicious eaten alone.
Ingredients
One of the reasons I think these are the best oven baked turkey wings you'll ever make is that they pack a ton of flavor with just a few basic ingredients. In fact, I can almost guarantee that you'll have most - if not all - of them at your house already!
Anyway, here's everything you'll need to make these baked turkey wings:
- 2.5lb. whole turkey wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tbsp dried parsley or parsley flakes
- ½ tbsp dried basil

How to Make Baked Turkey Wings
Now it's time for the fun part - it's time to make some baked turkey wings!
Again, making this baked turkey wings recipe is about as easy as it gets. Just a little mixing, marinating, and baking is all that there is to it. Then, dinner is served!
Well, let's not waste another second, let's get cooking.
Step 1: Prepare The Poultry Seasoning
First things first, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Then, while the oven is heating up, you can take out a large bowl and combine all of the spices and seasonings in it. So, that would be the dried parsley, dried basil, salt, black pepper, paprika powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of allspice with some olive oil. Now, once you've added those ingredients to the bowl, you can give 'em a good mix until they fully combine.
Step 2: Marinade The Turkey Wings
The first thing you'll want to do in this step - if you haven't done so already - is rinse and pat dry your fresh turkey wings.
Then, you'll want to rub each turkey wing with the spice mixture you just prepared. Once they're well coated in the marinade, you can either cook them right away or you can let them marinate in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3: Cook The Turkey Wings
Now that the turkey wings are all prepped and ready to go, it's time to bake 'em in the oven. So, to do that, you'll want to line a baking dish - or casserole dish - with some parchment paper to keep the turkey wings from sticking to the bottom. Then, you'll want to add the cup of water to the bowl the turkey wings just marinated in and give it a good stir to combine the water with any remaining spices and seasonings.
Next, you can put the turkey wings in the baking dish, pour the water mixture over the turkey wings, and then cover the dish with some aluminum foil. Then, when you've taken care of that, you can bake the wings for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Step 4: Finish Baking and Serve
When the time is up, you can remove the turkey wings from the oven and scoop about ⅓ of the cooking water into a bowl. Then you can whisk in the cornstarch until it fully combines with the water.
Now you'll want to pour the cornstarch slurry over the turkey wings, cover them again with some foil, and then bake the wings for another 15-20 minutes.
Finally, once the turkey wings are super crispy - and have reached an internal temperature of 160°F - you can take them out of the oven and serve 'em warm with some rice or anything else you want.
By the way, for even more flavor, you can pour the cooking juices on top of the turkey wings right before you put 'em out. That's what we like to do when we make these wings anyway.
How To Store Baked Turkey Wings
This recipe for baked turkey wings makes about 4 servings, so it'll make enough for the perfect game-day appetizer or possibly even dinner for the entire fam.
On the off chance you have leftovers, you can store your cooked turkey wings in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days.
However, if you want to store 'em for even longer, you can also freeze your leftover baked turkey wings. Just transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container and they should stay good frozen for up to 6 months.
How To Reheat Oven Baked Turkey Wings
Once you're ready to enjoy these baked turkey wings again, you can either eat them cold or you can reheat them. I think they're best reheated.
So, to reheat your turkey wings, just put them back in a baking dish with a little chicken stock and heat 'em for about 15-ish minutes at 350°F or until they're warmed through.
Wrapping It Up
Well, that's how to make baked turkey wings in just a few simple steps!
These oven baked turkey wings really are the perfect solution for a tasty appetizer, a family meal, or even Thanksgiving dinner. With the delicious flavor of the seasoning mix, the tender meat, and that incredible crispy skin, these baked turkey wings are an absolute winner every time!
