Fried Turkey Wings

Enjoy crispy, flavorful Fried Turkey Wings with a savory marinade, seasoned to perfection, and fried to golden brown perfection.

What will I need for this recipe?

Turkey Wings – Turkey wings provide a meaty, tender base for frying, offering a satisfying texture and flavor that absorbs seasonings beautifully.

Marinade – The marinade infuses the wings with rich, bold flavors, keeping the meat juicy and enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

Avocado Oil – Avocado oil helps coat the wings evenly, providing a high smoke point for frying while adding a mild, healthy fat.

Worcestershire Sauce – Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy depth and umami richness, balancing the flavors and enhancing the savory taste of the wings

Seasoning – For this recipe I use cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, & black pepper.

Cornstarch – Cornstarch helps create a crispy, crunchy coating when frying the wings, ensuring a golden brown texture and sealed-in moisture.

How to make Fried Turkey Wings

Prep large pot or deep fryer with vegetable/canola oil and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rinse and pat dry turkey wings.

Add turkey wings to a large bowl and coat with avocado oil and spice blend. Mix to ensure all wings are completely coated.

Using your flavor injector, inject wings with about 1 oz of marinade. Place in fridge for at least 1 hour. Remove from fridge and coat with cornstarch.

Drop turkey wings in frying oil and fry for 12-15 min or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Turkey wings should reach an internal temp of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place on paper towel lined sheet or sheet tray with backing rack to drain excess grease.

Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!

FAQ

Can I use a different marinade?

Yes, feel free to use any marinade you prefer, but Tony’s or Louisiana adds a great Cajun flavor.

How do I ensure the wings are crispy?

Coating the wings with cornstarch before frying helps create a crispy texture. Also, frying at 350°F ensures they cook evenly.

Can I bake the turkey wings instead of frying them?

For a healthier alternative, bake the wings at 400°F for about 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to crisp them.
