Equipment

  • Large Saucepan
  • Oven optional

Ingredients

  • 3 Lbs. Turkey wings; or 6 whole turkey wings; cut in half (remove the flats from the drum)
  • 1 Small Onion; Fresh and chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. Chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 ½ Cups Water
  • ¼ Cup All-purpose flour plus 2 Tbsp.
  • 1 ½ tsp. Kosher Salt or to taste
  • ½ tsp. Ground black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp. Cooking oil; Plus more if needed. Consider canola oil, avocado oil, coconut oil
  • 2 tsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic Paste; or 6 garlic cloves; minced
  • ½ tsp. Ground Cloves
  • 1 Rosemary sprig
  • 1 Tbsp. Dried basil
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. Cajun Spice
  • 2 Tbsp. Tomato paste
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Clean and wash the meat thoroughly.
    Pat the meat dry and season with salt and pepper. Set aside and allow to rest for about 30 minutes minimum.
    Heat the oil in a large saucepan and brown the meat on all sides over medium-high heat. Best to work in batches. Do not overcrowd the saucepan.
    adding water to create gravy
  • Remove the meat from the saucepan. Transfer to a paper toweled plate. Add more oil if needed. Then add the onions and garlic paste.
    In the same saucepan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomato paste, onions, and garlic paste.
    Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Next, add the dried basil and spices (cumin, ground cloves, Cajun seasoning). Stir to mix well.
    Deglaze with water. Next, add the flour and continue whisking while slowly adding the rest of the water (about ½ cup at a time).
    Continue to mix until there are no lumps. Season with salt and pepper.
    Adding Turkey Wings to the gravy
  • Add the turkey wings to the gravy. Then add the Worcestershire sauce, rice vinegar, and remaining herbs.
    Cover and bring to a simmer on medium-low heat for 45 minutes or until tender. Stirring occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. 
    Uncover and the sauce should have thickened. Remove from heat. Serve over rice and enjoy. 
    ** To achieve a rich brown color, broil the meat (in an oven-safe saucepan) for a few minutes on low broil.
