Hey y'all, it's Rosie, and I'm going to show you my recipe for homemade
smothered turkey wings, legs, or thighs. The exact measurements can be found on
my blog, I Heart Recipes.com. Okay, so for this recipe, I'm using turkey legs
because it was cheaper than the wings and the thighs. And you know how I am,
okay? But you can use either or. So for the seasonings, I'll be using salt, pepper,
I have sage, thyme, and some other seasonings. The exact measurements can be
found on my blog, I Heart Recipes.com. Just sprinkle those seasonings all over your
turkey, and make sure you massage it all over. You know, make sure you get all the
surfaces. Now in this bag, I have some all-purpose flour. I'm now going to start
placing my turkey legs, wings, or thighs - whatever you're using - put that in that
bag there. And now we're just going to shake the bag and coat the turkey. Now
once you're done doing this, don't throw away the flour, we will be using that
flour later on. Here on my stovetop, I have my pan. I'm going to pour in some
vegetable oil, and I also added in some butter. Please don't forget to give my
video a thumbs up if you haven't already, it helps me out a ton and I would really
appreciate it, so please do so. And now I'm going to start placing my turkey
into this pan. Now my goal is not to cook the turkey throughout, that's not going
to work, we don't want to do that. We just want to brown the outer parts, okay? So
once we're done browning all that turkey, we're going to remove it from this pan
and we'll place it in a 9 by 13 big dish. Remove that from the heat of course. And
I turn that pan off. But meanwhile, I did slice up some veggies. I have celery,
onion, and bell pepper. I'm going to head back over to my stovetop, turn the heat
back to medium, and now I'm going to cook my veggies until they're nice and
translucent. My next step will be adding some salt and pepper, that is completely
optional. You don't have to do this, but it does add a little more flavor, so I
would do it, but you don't have to. So my veggies are done. I'm now going to walk
over to my countertop, and I'm going to place my
veggies in the bake dish along with the turkey. Next, I'm going to grab some
aluminum foil and I'm going to cover this bak dish and I'm going to place
it in the oven on 325 Fahrenheit for about 2 hours. We're going to do it low
and slow. So while it is cooking, I'm going to make my gravy. Remember, I told
you not to toss away this flour. So I have the same oil and butter in that big
dish, I'm now going to pour in the flour. And now we're just going to mix until
everything is nice and incorporated. Make sure you don't have any lumps. And next,
we're going to start pouring in some chicken or turkey broth. I'm using
chicken broth because I just like chicken broth. So don't forget, if you
want the exact measurements and your free copy of this recipe, visit my blog, I
Heart Recipes.com. You can print it out there. And now I'm going to pour in some
half-and-half. Now you can use milk if you choose, or cream. Half-and-half is a
combination of the two. I really like a rich gravy for mine, so that's why I'm
using half-and-half. The heat is on medium and your gravy will thicken up,
just like this. Once it's like that, you're going to remove the turkey out of
the oven. So this is after 2 hours on 325. I'm now going to pour my gravy all over
the turkey. Make sure it's nicely coated. Look how thick and rich that gravy is.
You don't need any kind of mushroom or anything like that. My first turkey wing
video was a canned cream of mushroom, and all that stuff - you don't need it. Make
your own. So place this back in the oven for an hour and 30 minutes, and once that
hour and 30 minutes is done, your turkey is going to be falling off the bone. It's
going to be so tender and moist. And I serve this with some cornbread, some
greens, and potato salad. And look how tender this is - look at it falling off
the bone. That is two - no, three and a half hours of cooking on 325. We did it low
and slow. Thank you so much for watching, y'all. I truly appreciate it. Definitely
