The third recipe in my budget kuts series is smothered turkey wings. I’m accustomed to eating turkey legs, turkey breast, turkey necks and turkey wings year around so when Thanksgiving comes around eating turkey holds no luster.
This is for delicious turkey wings that will hit the spot when it’s served over rice with sweet peas. Maybe this year instead of cooking a whole turkey you’ll make some wings.
Smothered Turkey Wings Cooking Tips:
If you’re not scared this recipe work well with turkey necks just get your butcher to cut the halves or thirds depending on size.
Can you make ahead?
Freezer: You can make the smothered turkey wings in advance, cool off and place in an airtight container. Keep in the freezer for 3 months max. Thaw 48 hours before using.

Reheating: Turn on heat to medium, add all ingredients in a medium sauce pan, cover, cook until mixture starts to boil. About 10 minutes or less.

I made these last night for the family, it was a big hit. I am more focused on what I eat, but this reminded me of home, so I had to give it try. The New Orleans Savory seasoning was perfect in this dish. If you love Southern Dishes you will not be disappointed. Going give this dish a try.
