My all-time favourite ingredient combination, which is garlic and honey, are the dominant flavours in these Honey Garlic Turkey Wings. If you ever feel like there's not enough meat on a chicken wing, give turkey wings a try! They are super moist and more filling too!!

Ingredients
- 4 whole turkey wings, separated, tips discarded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Add the buttermilk and salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the turkey drumettes and wingettes to the bowl and allow to marinate at room temperate for 20 minutes.
- Remove the turkey from the buttermilk marinate. Using paper towels, dab each piece to remove any excess buttermilk and to dry the turkey. Drying the turkey will ensure a crispier skin. Place the turkey pieces in a single layer onto a wire cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath. Be sure to coat the wire cooling rack with non-stick cooking spray first! The baking sheet will catch the dripping grease and moisture. Sprinkle the black pepper over both side of the turkey pieces.
- Bake the turkey in a 350 degree F oven 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 sauce. Add the honey, garlic, ginger, and water to a large skillet. Over medium-high heat, whisk the ingredients together and allow them to come to a low boil until sauce has thickened. Turn off the heat and set the sauce aside until the turkey is cooked.
- Once the turkey is done, remove it from the oven. Return the honey garlic sauce back to the burner and transfer the turkey wings to the skillet with the sauce.
- Over medium-high heat, toss the turkey pieces with the sauce until the turkey is well coated and the pieces start to caramelize. Don’t allow the sauce to burn, but do allow it to get really thick, reduced down, and sticky. Turn off the heat. Add the sesame seeds, toss to combine, plate, and serve immediately.
