Ingredients
- 6 turkey wings about 2 lbs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by lightly coating it with cooking spray.
- Brush the turkey wings with olive oil and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Rub the seasoning mixture over each side of the turkey wings.
- Transfer the seasoned turkey wings into the prepared slow cooker.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook the turkey wings on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender and cooked through.
- Optionally, for crispy skin, transfer the cooked turkey wings to a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the slow cooker turkey wings on a serving platter, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Start with dry turkey wings: After removing the turkey wings from the package, use a paper towel to pat them dry to remove excess moisture so that the olive oil and seasonings will stick.
- Keep the lid on: Resist the urge to open the lid while the turkey wings are cooking and just let the crockpot work its magic. Opening the lid allows heat to escape, causing the wings to take longer to cook.
- Keep an eye on the wings while broiling: If you choose to broil the wings after slow cooking, be sure to keep an eye on them so that they don’t burn. When broiling, things can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
- Store in the refrigerator: Store leftover turkey wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The wings can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
