- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup butter

Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Brush the turkey wings with vegetable oil and place them in a large roasting pan. |
| 2 | In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and onion powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the turkey wings. |
| 3 | Bake the wings in the preheated oven until they are browned, which typically takes about 45-60 minutes. |
| 4 | Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, cooking until they are soft but not browned, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the dried thyme and pepper, cooking for an additional minute. |
| 5 | Add the flour to the saucepan, stirring constantly until it turns light brown, about 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. |
| 6 | Strain the sauce through a sieve, returning it to the saucepan. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and returns to a simmer. |
| 7 | Pour the prepared sauce over the baked turkey wings in the roasting pan. Cover the pan and continue cooking until the turkey wings are tender, which usually takes about 1 hour. |
