1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
½ cup barbecue sauce (optional, for glazing)

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Season the Turkey Wings

Pat the turkey wings dry with a paper towel. Rub them with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried herbs if using.

Step 3: Bake the Wings

Place the turkey wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 45–60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Optional Glaze

If using barbecue sauce, brush the wings with sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze is caramelized.
