Sous vide turkey wings are full of flavor and the perfect appetizer for a Thanksgiving meal...or just some great tailgating outside of the football game!
2 pounds turkey wings
1 to 2 teaspoons salt
1/2 to 1 teaspoons spice rub or herbs (optional)
Your favorite BBQ or wing sauce
Preheat the sous vide machine to your preferred go-to temperature, 150°F (65.6°C) for the "perfect braise" up through 165°F (73.9°C) for shreddable, fall apart-tender.
Salt the meat then coat with any spices.
Place the turkey wings in a sous vide bag and seal it in a single layer. You can use a silicon bag, Ziploc-brand freezer bag, or a heat safe vacuum bag or zip top bag.
Place the sealed turkey wings in the sous vide bath and cook until tenderized, 2 to 4 hours.
Once fully cooked, take the sous vide bag out of the water bath and remove the turkey wings from the bag. Pat it dry with a paper towel or dish cloth.
If you want extra crispy turkey wings you can chill them in the fridge overnight to dry off.
Before you sear them you can also toss them with your favorite sauce, if you want it to be more caramelized than crispy!
You can also deep fry the wings to get an even crunch all around
Sear the turkey wings for 1 to 2 minutes per side over high heat or in a hot oven under the broiler. It should just start to brown but the core temperature shouldn't rise. Remove it from the heat.
Toss with your favorite wing sauce if desired then serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing
Turkey wings are also great with some garlic and parmesan cheese.
There is a ton of variety in what you can do!
