Ingredients

- 4 pounds of turkey wings

- 2 tablespoons of curry powder

- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon of cumin powder

- 1 teaspoon of coriander powder

- 1 teaspoon of paprika

- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon of onion powder

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

- 1 cup of coconut milk

- 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth

- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

- Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

- In a large bowl, combine curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

- Rub the spice mixture over the turkey wings as evenly as you can, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

- Heat vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

- Add the turkey wings to the hot oil and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Remove the wings from the skillet and set them aside.

- In the same pan, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the mixture becomes fragrant.

- Add the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any flavorful browned bits.

- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Return the seared turkey wings to the skillet, nestling them into the curry base.

- Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to a preheated oven.

- Bake the turkey wings at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours or until they become tender and fully cooked. The meat should easily pull away from the bones.

- Once the turkey wings are done, remove them from the oven.

- Optionally, garnish the dish with fresh cilantro leaves for added freshness and visual appeal.

- Serve the curry turkey wings hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or your choice of accompaniments.
