    Grocery Store List

    Smothered Turkey Wings
    • Turkey Wings- I know there are some enormous turkey wings, but I try to stick to the smaller ones.
    • Cajun Seasoning—I used a small amount of Cajun seasoning for these soul food turkey wings. You can use as much as you like. Just remember that they may be a bit spicy.
    • Olive Oil- Used to rub onto the smothered turkey wings and blend the seasonings in better.
    • Green bell peppers- Add in a ton of flavor and texture.
    • Onions- Also add a great deal of flavor.
    • Butter- We all know that wings can be tough, but butter helps soften the turkey meat.
    • Cornstarch- Helps to thicken the turkey gravy.
    • Chicken Broth- The base of the turkey gravy. There is no need to make turkey drippings for this recipe.
