Smothered Turkey Wings with Mac & Cheese & Yellow Rice

🔪 Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Turkey Wings
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season turkey wings generously with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme.
In a hot skillet, brown wings in olive oil (about 3 minutes per side).
Remove and set aside. In the same pan, sauté onions, bell pepper, and garlic.
Add broth and stir in the flour slurry (mix flour + water).
Pour sauce and veggies over turkey wings in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until fall-off-the-bone tender.
Step 2: Make the Mac & Cheese
Boil pasta until just al dente. Drain.
In a saucepan, melt butter, add milk, cream, and bring to a low simmer.
Whisk in eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in cheeses until creamy.
Combine cheese sauce with pasta and pour into a greased baking dish.
Top with extra cheese and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Step 3: Prepare the Yellow Rice
In a pot, bring broth, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and butter to a boil.
Add rice, stir once, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook for 18-20 minutes until fluffy. Fluff with fork.
🍽️ Final Plating:
Scoop yellow rice onto the plate and top with smothered turkey wings and gravy. Add a cheesy portion of baked mac & cheese, and a soft dinner roll on top. Garnish with parsley for that finishing touch!
Enjoy a true comfort food classic! 🔥💯
