Common Questions
When buying turkey wings, it can become pretty complicated. Turkey wings are seasonal, so they may not be available all year. I have a few places where I’ve been lucky enough to find them. A meat market, as well as your local grocery store, is a good place to start. If you have a Food Lion in your area, you can ask the meat department if they have some in the back.
