Smoking turkey wings are incredibly easy and make the meat super juicy and the skin nice and crunchy. You'll wonder why it took you so long to try them!
Smoked Turkey Wings
Making Smoked Turkey Wings is a great way to enjoy wings in a whole new way. You may of thought of turkey as just a protein that you cook for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but you can use turkey for any occasion.
These turkey wings are a great substitution to chicken wings, but you've been warned, they're HUGE! If you invite friends over for "smoked wings," they'll be shocked when you plop just 1 wing onto their plate. For reference, two wings are about the size of a standard baking sheet.
