Ingredients
- 4 whole turkey wings, separated, tips discarded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- non-stick cooking spray
For the Cranberry Glaze:
- 1 cup chunky cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and generously coat the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Set the separated turkey pieces into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle over the salt and ground black pepper. Toss the pieces to coat and season evenly.
- Next, sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss the turkey pieces once again to coat in the cornstarch. If you need more cornstarch, you can add a bit more, but you don't need much – just a light dusting.
- Transfer the turkey wings to the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer. Use two baking sheets if needed.
- Bake the turkey pieces for 45-60 minutes. The baking time will depend on the size of your individual wings. A meat thermometer should read 175 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the drumette. Be sure to not touch the bone with the thermometer! Once fully cooked remove from the oven.
- While the turkey is in the oven, make the glaze. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a large skillet and stir to combine over medium heat. Bring the glaze to a low boil and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Turn off the heat and set the glaze aside.
- Once the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and transfer the pieces to the skillet with the cranberry glaze.
- Toss the turkey pieces with the glaze until the turkey is well coated. Plate, garnish, and serve immediately.
