Tips for Cutting Turkey Wings
- Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to separate the sections of the turkey wings.
- Place the wing on a cutting board so the underside is facing up. (It is easier to see the joints.)
- Stretch out the wing so you can clearly see its three parts: the wing tip, the wingette, and the drumette.
- First, cut off the wing tips at the joint between the wing tip and the wingette.
- Separate the wingette from the drumette by placing the knife or shears at the largest bump of bone and cutting through.
- Freeze the wing tips to use in stock later on.
Recipe Variations
- Replace the turkey wings with turkey thighs or turkey legs. Keep in mind that larger pieces will take more time to cook.
- Instead of wings, you can use 6 to 8 bone-in chicken thighs in the recipe.
- Instead of the French-inspired mirepoix, use a Cajun-style mirepoix: 1 cup of chopped onions, 1/2 cup diced celery, and 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper. Also sprinkle the turkey pieces with 1 teaspoon of Cajun or Creole seasoning before browning.
