Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, broth, and lemon juice.

4. Toss the turkey wings in the marinade until evenly coated.

5. Let the wings marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

6. Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.

7. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer, skin side up.

8. Pour any remaining marinade over the wings.

9. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.

11. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

12. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) before removing from the oven.

Notes

Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels for a crispy skin when baked.

Rub olive oil generously, listening for the sizzle as it meets the pan for flavor depth.
