Baked Lemon Pepper Turkey Wings Food

BAKED TURKEY WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Separate the turkey wings at the joint if they are not already divided. Cut the skin and meat around the joint to reveal it slightly. Grab the wing with both hands and break it at the joint. The two parts will still be attached here and there. Retake the knife and cut around to release them completely.
• Season: Place the wing sections into a large (deeper) roasting tin. Rub them well with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry rub, and use your hands to coat them completely with the spices.
• Bake covered: Pour the hot stock into the tin around the wings so that the spices are not washed away. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.
• Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for 45 minutes or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
• Check internal temperature: If the wings are larger, prolong the cooking time until the turkey's internal temperature is 74 degrees Celsius/ 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check that with a meat thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part of a wing, the meat should be soft, and the juices should run clear.

LEMON-PEPPER TURKEY WITH BACON GRAVY

Steps:

• Let the turkey sit at room temperature, 30 minutes. Position an oven rack in the lowest position (remove the other racks); preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey; set aside for the gravy. Finely grate the zest from all 4 lemons; combine with the peppercorns and 1 tablespoon salt. Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels. Season the inside with about one-quarter of the lemon-pepper mixture, then rub the rest all over the skin. Cut one of the lemons into quarters; stuff inside the cavity along with the onion, celery and thyme sprigs. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large roasting pan and tuck the wings under the body.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Chop the bacon; set aside for the gravy. Add the butter to the skillet with the drippings and stir until melted, then pour into a bowl and stir in the juice of 2 lemons. Let the lemon butter cool slightly, then brush all over the turkey. Transfer to the oven and roast 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the Classic Gravy.
• After the turkey has roasted 1 hour, baste it with the drippings. Continue roasting, basting every 30 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 2 more hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving; reserve the drippings for the gravy. Stir the bacon into the finished gravy.
• Prepare the stock: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey neck and giblets; cook, turning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, thyme and bay leaves; stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, reduce the heat to low and simmer about 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; reserve the saucepan. You should have 7 cups stock-if you're short, add more broth.
• Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in the reserved saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 7 cups stock; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside until the turkey is done.
• Pour the turkey pan drippings into a fat separator and let stand until the fat rises to the top. Discard the fat (or drizzle on your stuffing). Whisk the defatted drippings into the gravy; season with salt and pepper. Reheat before serving.

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; add wings and toss to coat. Spread coated wings in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Bake longer for a crispier skin.

LEMON GARLIC PEPPER WINGS

Steps:

• Place wings in large glass pyrex baking dish and add all remaining ingredients.
• Stir to combine well and ensure that all wings have been thoroughly coated.
• Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally.

• BBQ or grill wings until brown, about 15-20 minutes.
• Turn after 10 minutes and baste with marinade.

LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Make the chicken wings: Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On the sheet pan, pat the chicken wings dry, and toss with the olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
• Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon pepper: Finely grate about 2 teaspoons zest from the lemons onto another parchment paper-lined pan (a considerably smaller one works). Cut the lemons into wedges and set aside for serving. Add pepper to the zest, mix to combine and spread in an even layer. When the wings are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and turn off the oven. Place the pan with the lemon zest and black pepper in the still-warm oven, letting the lemon zest dry out and the black pepper toast in the residual heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn or brown the zest; it may darken in shade slightly but should still be a vibrant yellow.
• In a small bowl, use your fingers to mix together the toasted lemon zest and black pepper with the salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and citric acid (if using) until well combined. Be sure to break up any clumps of sugar. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of the lemon pepper over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon pepper as desired. (You can store the rest of the spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.)
• Transfer the seasoned wings to a large platter and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

ROASTED HERB WINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the wings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Make sure the wings are completely dry, then break the wings down.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to break down each wing into three separate pieces. Using your finger, locate the joint connecting the drumette to the wingette (flat), then use the tip of your knife to cut the skin so the joint is visible. Firmly press your knife in between the pieces to separate them. Next, use your finger to locate the joint connecting the wingette (flat) to the wing tip. You don't need to cut the skin, just press your knife through the joint, reserving the wing tips to make stock.
• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan, thyme, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, and pepper. Add the wings and toss to completely coat. Make sure you don't overcrowd the skillet or the wings will steam rather than bake and won't be crispy.
• Transfer the wings to two large cast-iron skillets lightly greased with oil and roast, flipping every 10 to 12 minutes, until you can cut into the wing and the juice runs clear, about 40 minutes.
• Make the tossing sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients over medium heat. Once the butter melts, reduce the heat to low, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the wings from the oven (leave the oven on) and toss with the warm sauce in a large bowl, making sure to cover each morsel. Return the wings to the cast-iron skillets, drizzle with any leftover sauce, return to the oven, and roast for 5 more minutes. Serve hot, garnished with parsley.
