Ingredients
- 6 large turkey wings (wing tips separated)
- ½ lb button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ can cream of chicken soup
- 1–2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat and Season
Preheat oven to 400°F. Season the turkey wings generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, basil, and oregano.
2️⃣ Build the Base
Lightly coat a baking pan with EVOO. Layer the mushrooms, onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic across the bottom. Place seasoned turkey wings skin-side down on top of the veggies. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 1 hour.
3️⃣ Add Stock and Bake Again
Remove foil and add ½ cup chicken stock to the pan. Re-cover and bake an additional 45 minutes.
4️⃣ Crisp the Skin
Remove pan from oven and carefully pour most of the liquid and vegetables into a saucepan to reserve for the gravy.
Flip turkey wings skin-side up and return to oven, uncovered on broil, for 15–20 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.
5️⃣ Make the Mushroom Gravy
To the saucepan with pan drippings and veggies, add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and ½ can cream of chicken soup. Season to taste and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6️⃣ Smother and Bake One Last Time
Pour the hot mushroom gravy over the crispy turkey wings. Cover with foil again and return to bake at 350°F for a final 20 minutes until fully tender and the flavors are infused.
Tips for Success
- Use a deep roasting pan to catch all those flavorful drippings.
- Don’t skip the broil—this step makes the skin golden and irresistible.
- Gravy too thick? Add a splash of chicken stock or milk to thin it out.
