Turkey Wings & Turkey Stock

Turkey Wings & Turkey Stock

These turkey wings are baked, not fried. But super crispy and rich tasting. Then use the leftovers to make the best turkey stock ever… perfect for homemade soup or freeze it ahead for holiday cooking. 

Prep Time : 5 mins

Cook Time : 1 hr

Total Time : 1 hr 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 8 Whole Turkey Wings
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp poultry seasoning
  • kosher salt and pepper to pepper to taste
  • carrots, onions, celery, parsley, if making turkey stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place turkey wings in a large casserole dish or on a baking sheet, keeping in mind that the turkey will release its juices and you don’t want them to run over – so it should be a pan with sides!
  3. Brush both sides of the wings with olive oil. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover wings with foil and place them in the oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove wings from the oven, raise the temperature of the oven to 425, remove the foil and put them back in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. This should give you nice crispy wings! Treat these just like you would chicken wings. Toss them in wing sauce, hot sauce, whatever you like. But these are also delicious right out of the oven!!
  5. MAKE TURKEY STOCK with the leftover bones and pan drippings! Dump pan drippings, leftover bones, and wing stuff into a slow cooker. Add 2-3 carrots chopped into a few pieces, a quartered onion, a handful of parsley, a piece of celery, or any combination of veggie drawer paraphernalia that could possibly go into turkey stock. (This is an excellent way to clear out the vegetable drawer! I have been known to use carrot tops!) Fill the slow cooker to the top with water, set it on low and let it cook all night. The next morning, turn off the slow cooker and let it cool until you can handle the stock without getting burned. Use a kitchen spider (or a slotted spoon) to remove the large pieces of turkey bones and vegetables. Place a strainer or cheese cloth over the top of your Ball or Mason jar and ladle stock into clean jars. The strainer will remove any leftover bits that you don’t want in your stock. Put the lids on the jars and place them in the fridge or the freezer. The amount of stock you end up with will depend on the size of your slow cooker. I have a gigantic one and put away more than 3 quarts of the most flavorful turkey stock, made from things that I would have otherwise put in the trash. Bring on holiday cooking!! I am ready!

SOFT BUTTER YEAST ROLLS

These rolls are so smooth and tender and a little sweet and are great for every occasion for which you want some very tasty rolls of yeast. In a wide bowl which is soft enough to quickly stir along with the ingredients, you can begin with butter. The butter will really help tenderize the yeast rolls in this recipe. Apply the butter and one teaspoon of salt to the granulated sugar and then mix it together until it is well mixed. Add two room temperature eggs and these eggs would always add a lot of tenderness and a little bit of chewy to the dinner rolls.

When you make yeast dough, you ought to be really vigilant about the temperature of the milk because you blend the eggs very well with the butter mixture, so add whole milk that is slightly warmed. Yeat also needs a warm temperature of around 110 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a great temperature to enable the yeast. If you go for the liquid a little too hot, you’re going to kill the yeast, so you just have to be careful.

Mix the milk into the mixture and then add the flour into the mixture in batches and you will still need about two teaspoons of dried yeast in the cup, as certain recipes ask you to, you don’t even have to hydrate the yeast. Stir all together until it begins to shape your dough. You can transform the dough onto a work surface and start kneading it by hand, but you can probably do this if you have a stand mixer.

Take the end that is the farthest away from you and fold it in half if you knead by hand, then use the heel of your hands to rock it away from you and begin the folding process in half and knead it until you have a really smooth elastic dough. Place the dough in an oiled tub, cover it with a wrap of plastic and let it rise until it is about twice the size, which takes about an hour.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and split the dough into parts of the roll until it has risen. Take and roll each piece of the cut dough into a ball, then cover it and let it rise for the second time. Here you have two choices, you can let them rise at room temperature then bake them after rising or you can place them overnight in your refrigerator and let them rise overnight slowly.

When the rolls have stopped rising and are soft and puffy, clean them with an egg wash and then bake them in a preheated oven of 375 until they are golden brown. Serve them with whatever meal they choose.

Components;

Unsalted butter, 6 tbsp (85 gr), room temperature
Granulated sugar for 1/4 cup (50 gr)
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
2 big eggs, temperature in the room
1 cup (237 ml) of whole milk, mildly hot (approximately 110 F, 43 C)
4-5 cups (480-600 gr) all-purpose unbleached flour
1 box (7 gr, 2 1/4 tsp) of active dry or quick-rise yeast yeast

The instructions;

Stir the butter, granulated sugar , and salt in a large mixing bowl until well mixed.
Add the eggs and whisk until they are mixed into the mixture. At this stage, the mixture would look curdled.
Lightly heating up the milk. Usually, I steam it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It should be barely warm and not sticky to the touch.
When added, stir the milk into the mixture.
In the dish, add 4 cups of flour and the yeast packet and stir to mix. If required, save the 5th cup of flour to add when kneading the dough.
On a finely floured work surface, turn the dough over and knead it by hand for approximately 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you should knead it at medium-high speed for around 8 minutes in a stand mixer with your dough hook.

Send the dough to a mixing tub, and cover it with plastic wrap.
The dough needs to rise (ferment) until about double in size at this stage. You can do this at room temperature, and if you have used rapid rise yeast, it will take about 45 minutes or about 90 minutes if you have used active dry yeast. You should refrigerate the dough directly after kneading it and allow it to slowly rise for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator if you want to shape the rolls the next day.
Push softly down the center of the dough after the dough has risen, to push all the gas out of it. Turn it out and uniformly split it into 12 or 16 parts on a finely floured work surface.
Shape the rolls into a smooth piece of ball dough and put the rounded rolls on a sheet pan lined with parchment or in a baking dish of 9 “x 13” (23 x 33 cm). In plastic tape, protect the rolls.

It is necessary to raise the rolls a second time (proof) until they are around double in size. To bake them the same day, you can test them at room temperature, or you can evidence them overnight in the refrigerator.
If you use rapid rise yeast, the rolls will take about 45 minutes at room temperature and will take about 75-90 minutes if you use active dry yeast.
Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C), then wash the rolls with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp of water) to give them a cool glow after they have been cooked.
Bake the rolls in the oven on the middle rack until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Using melted butter to clean the baked rolls and sprinkle with some flaky salt if desired.

The most common type of mold found in homes is mildew, which is a surface appearance that multiplies in warm and damp places, such as bathrooms, damp fabrics and stores in the basement, and the mildew initially appears in the form of a gray or white colony and then turns brown or black if it remains For a long time, and if there is a clear musty smell in the house, this means that the concentration of mildew is high, which may come from damp-filled walls, towels or carpets, and here the necessary measures and methods must be taken to get rid of mold naturally.

Butter Milk Pie

Have you ever tried something so delicious you can barely stand it…and something that you’re even more shocked that you actually made. This is one of those recipes.

Buttermilk Pie is my nominee for this year’s perfect party dessert awards. It’s outrageously easy to make, the filling is luxuriously sweet and creamy on the inside with a lightly crackled sugar top, and despite being an old-fashioned, classic Southern recipe, it doesn’t receive the notoriety it deserves.

A sweet simple traditional Buttermilk Pie made with wholesome natural ingredients with minimal effort and time. For an extra special treat serve with fresh whipped cream.!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:

Ingredients :

1 3/4 C. sugar
1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 C.) room temp.
3 large eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
3 T. all purpose flour
1 C. buttermilk
1 9″ pie shell, unbaked

Directions :

Cream together the sugar and butter till well blended. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until the mixture is nice and smooth. Add in the vanilla, salt and flour. Beat in the buttermilk until well combined. Place the pie shell on a baking sheet lined with foil (catches any overflow).
Fill the pie shell with the buttermilk mixture, just to the top of the shell. Pour any remaining into an ungreased custard cup. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let set until almost cooled before serving. Store covered in the fridge.
