Stove Top Turkey Wings

Hello Everyone, I have been MIA for a moment but trust and believe my mind has been on you constantly. I am still seeking ways to combine this Blog Post Page and some of my YouTube Vids into one. Plus my Website is currently under reconstruction. I hope you will enjoy it even more. However, today is the day that I share my Stove Top Turkey Wings with y'all😋! Believe me everyone you prepare them for will give your props' to you! So, here it goes. Equipment Lifting Fork Measuring Cup Measuring Spoons 2 small bowls Top(s) for Pans Pot Holders Timer (if needed) 1 EXTRA LARGE SKILLET(8-12) wings & tips or 2 Regular-Sized (4-6) wings & tips 1/2 Stick of Butter 1 tsp Lawry'a Seasoned Salt 1/4 Tsp Thyme 1 Tsp Japanese Rice Umami or Accent 1 Tsp Smoked Hungarian Paprika 8-12 Turkey Wings & Tips *uncooked* 1 Lge Onion (I prefer white or valdalia) 1/2 Diced & 1/2 in Rounds and halved) 2 Celery Stalks- 1 chopped and diced 1 Stalk into 2 inch slivered stalks 6 Slices of Thick Bacon or some Smoked Ham Shoulder Meat & Fat. 1/2 Teaspoon Coarse Ground Pepper or 1/2 Red Cayenne Pepper-(save 1/4) 1 Tsp of Himalayan Salt or Coarse Salt *special note* You may use a Small Red, Orange or Yellow Sweet Bell Pepper sliced into slivers. But DO NOT USE A GREEN BELL PEPPER. It alters and conceals many of the other flavors. ** I will do the recipe in the LARGE FRYER PAN** 1st Place Pan on the stove(medium heat) and place Bacon inside 1 strip by the other. Cook and turn over until crispy and brown. Not BURNED. You may have to lower the temp while the Bacon is frying and browning. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel. Do not remove Bacon Oil. 2nd with Stove Top on Low place Diced and chopped onions into the skillet. Stir constantly until you smell the onion aroma. Add chopped and diced Celery. Stir for 2 minutes. Saving the oil as much as possible. Strain & Remove them and place into a small bowl. Set aside. Return oil to pan. Add 4-5 Pats of Butter (not margarine or oleo). Let them melt. Adjust Stove to medium cooking. Add Seasoned Turkey Wings, skin side down. Let them Brown on that side. Takes about 4-5 minutes. Turn them over to the uncrowded side. Let them Brown for 4-5 minutes. Add Ground Pepper or Cayenenne now. Repeat this process 2 more times but decrease the browning time to 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp Himalayan Salt on the last turn. Add 2 cups of water. Cover pot. 3rd In about 7-10 minutes the juice should be reduced to half. Turn each Wing and Tip over. Add the onions, Celery, sweet bell peppers and sprinkle the Thyme over each wing and tip. Ladle the juice over the Wings & Tips. Crush the Bacon/Ham into small pieces/bits and add over the Wings & Tips. Cover. Turn stove down between Medium and low heat. Check every 7-10 minutes. Judging by the tenderness of the meat turn the stove to lower, turn VERRRY INFREQUENTLY and you're DONE! You may turn the stove OFF IF THEY ARE ABOUT TO FALL APART. JUST KEEP LADLING THE GRAVY SAUCE OVER THEM UNTIL PLATING TIME. I know this seems lengthy, but like I said..."Trust and Believe." It's worth the time and "It's ALL GOOD Y'all!" Bon Appétit!

Spring Is Springing Y'all

Every gardener gets a little "Antsy" around February and March. They pull out their seed packets and seed catalogs to look for "new items" to grow. Those cold and early evening darkening hours make us sad. Why? You may ask. Well, it seems as though time FLIES during the winter months. As soon as we get up, do a few house chores, many which have been put off during the S7ummer and Fall months,it is time to retire to bed once again. Oh well. During the Winter months we have put our garden plans on paper and computer, sought and often bought new garden tools and equipment (many remain boxed) and we are just waiting for that one day of sunshine and warmth. That day when we can venture back to our "safe place" where we are welcomed by the soil and we feel the gratitude for our return. To our piece of "Mother Earth." When we get there we may find a few remnants of our past still stuck in the soil. Stuck in our past life of togetherness. Sometimes, those remnants are usable for this next planting season that we are eagerly awaiting. Then, we feel the air on our faces and smell the scents of "Our Mother Earth's" presence and we are ALIVE! We once again will ask the soil to present us with the GREATEST of its gifts. The gift of FRUITION. That gift that only they possess to enable a seed to become that which it was intended to be. It is at this moment when we realize how much we have to do in order to receive the Best Bounty EVER! So, we complete the task for that day and await another day and then another, until at last! Every day can be spent outside with Our Mother Earth as she welcomes our presence and participation in helping her display the glorious array of her beauty. So,now we begin to engage in the dance of nature. Some begin this dance in a Greenhouse, a Shed, a Garage, a Field, or a PolyTunnel by listening to Garden Podcasts, some Favorite Tune or Singing along with the Song that Nature presents. The point of it simply this...Are you with us? Even if you can only put a small potted plant on a windowsill, you can help a plant friend grow into "The Best" it can be! Join the Gardeners' of the World as we Dance the Dance of "The Soil, The Seed, Mother Earth and Man." Graciously Yours, Lady Marisha of Marishavilla
