Ingredients:
2 pounds turkey wings, tips removed (if desired)
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 gallon vegetable oil
Your favorite dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Turkey Wings:
Wash and pat the turkey wings dry with paper towels.
Season the wings with seasoned salt and black pepper.
Heat the Oil:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). It’s important to use a pot or Dutch oven that is large enough to hold the turkey wings without overcrowding them. Overcrowding can lower the oil temperature and lead to greasy wings.
Fry the Turkey Wings:
Carefully add the turkey wings to the hot oil, one or two at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the wings for 15-20 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the wings should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Drain and Serve:
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels for a few minutes to remove excess grease.
Serve the hot turkey wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or hot sauce.
Safety Tips:
Never leave hot oil unattended.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pot, as this can cause the oil to splatter.
Have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
Here are some additional tips for deep-frying turkey wings:
You can use a deep fryer instead of a pot or Dutch oven.
If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the wings by piercing them with a fork.
The juices should run clear, not pink.
Be sure to let the oil cool completely before discarding it.
Enjoy !!
