Honey Dijon Baked Turkey Wings
Baked turkey wings cooked in a sweet and savory honey Dijon sauce. The turkey wings get incredibly tender and practically fall off the bone. The sweet mustard sauce thickens as it cooks and makes a delicious gravy to spoon over rice.
Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 1-½ to 2 pounds turkey wings
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ⅔ cup honey
- ⅔ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Optional step: cut the turkey wings at the joints to section off the tip, flat, and drumettes. Cutting them into sections will help them cook more evenly.
- Sprinkle the turkey with salt and pepper and place them in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish (see notes).
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and whisk in the Dijon, honey, cornstarch, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the turkey wings with the honey Dijon sauce.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the cover and turn the oven up to 400°F. Baste the turkey wings with the honey mustard sauce, and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the turkey wings from the oven and place them on a serving platter.
- If the turkey wings released a lot of fat in the pan, skim the fat off the top of the sauce. Give the sauce a whisk and a taste test. Add salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the sauce over the turkey wings or pour it into a dish to serve on the side.

Notes
- Whole turkey wings have three parts to them. The tip, the flat, and the drumette. We purchased turkey wings that already had the tips removed so the video shows that each wing was cut into two sections. There really isn’t any meat on the tips so it is more economical to purchase turkey wings that do not have the tips intact. You can ask the butcher to remove the tips before you purchase them.
- If you have more than three turkey wings or you plan to cook the tips of the wings, you will need a larger dish. You can use a baking sheet as long as it has 1-inch edges.
