🥘Ingredients

For the Gravy

2 turkey wings
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2Add the turkey wings and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3Remove the turkey wings from the pot and set aside.
4In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
5Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
6Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir to combine.
7Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned.
8Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
9Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary.
10Stir well to combine.
11Return the turkey wings to the pot.
12Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey wings are tender and the gravy has thickened slightly.
13Remove the turkey wings from the pot and set them aside to cool.
14Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat from the bones and discard the bones and skin.
15Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Turkey Wing Gravy

Q: What type of turkey wings are best for this recipe?

A: For this recipe, you can use either bone-in or boneless turkey wings. If you’re using bone-in wings, make sure to remove the tips and cut them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly. If you’re using boneless wings, you can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces depending on your preference.

Q: Can I use store-bought turkey broth instead of making my own?

A: While store-bought turkey broth can be convenient, I highly recommend making your own broth from scratch for the best flavor results. The homemade broth will give your gravy a depth of flavor that’s hard to replicate with store-bought options.

Q: How do I ensure the gravy doesn’t become too thick?

A: To avoid a thick gravy, make sure to whisk constantly while adding the flour mixture and don’t overcook the mixture. If you do end up with a thick gravy, you can always add a bit more water or stock to thin it out.

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

A: Yes, you can make the turkey wing gravy ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. When reheating the gravy, make sure to whisk constantly over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.

Q: Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

A: Unfortunately, this recipe is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans due to the use of turkey wings and bones. However, if you’re looking for a similar vegetarian or vegan option, I’d be happy to provide you with some alternative recipes.
