Wing Me!

A lot of low carbers seem to really enjoy wings. I never really got into them because wings are usually around $4 a pound here and that is too much for something that is mostly bone in my opinion. Plus they are puny and not much meat, which means I would need a lot to fill me. I've never got them in a restaurant as I know some places bread them or even lightly dust in flour so I don't know if I could trust them, especially now where I have to be extra careful to avoid gluten.

Enter Mr. Turkey. I mentioned yesterday I found some turkey wings yesterday for $1.79 a pound and bought 6 packages. These puppies are huge! The drummie is the size of a regular chicken drumstick, although the bone is much bigger.

I made turkey drumsticks a while back and they were much better than the ones I made today. These ones were a lot milder; last time Mark drank a glass of water after every bite. I like heat; he doesn't. I was very low on Franks Hot Sauce and I learned that the store brand simply does not compare. Too bad as it is so much cheaper, but you get what you pay for and this time you pay in lack of flavor and heat.

I decided since it's not very economical to bake that I would cook all 6 packages and just reheat or even eat cold. I think they won't make it to the freezer though. They pretty yummy!

I made two different kinds. Hot and curry. For the hot, I just doused liberally with hot sauce and the curry, I sprinkled liberally with my favorite curry blend. Then I drizzled them with butter and popped them in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes. I turned them over, reduced heat to 325 and baked another 45 minutes. Here they are after about an hour in the oven. I had some at this point because it was lunch time, they were cooked through but were better after a little more cooking time.


TaDa! Lunch time!!
