Place the turkey wings into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer
Cook on the air fry setting for 25 minutes at 350°F, pausing halfway through to flip the wings over
(Optional) If you are making sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well while the wings cook
½ Cup sour cream, 1 Tbsp minced cilantro, 2 Tsp fresh lime juice, 1 Tsp honey, ¼ Tsp salt, ¼ Tsp black pepper
Wings are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (near the bone but not touching it). Additional cooking time may be needed based on your specific air fryer and the size of your wings
Toss in wing sauce or serve with a side of dipping sauce
Notes
Smoked turkey wings may be found in the refrigerated section (they are not fully cooked, simply smoked). You may also substitute fresh or frozen unsmoked wings if preferred, though cooking times will vary
If you don’t want any wing seasoning, use some salt and pepper to taste (start with 1 tsp and ½ tsp respectively). I’m using jerk seasoning, but other great options would be Cajun, garlic and herb, or lemon pepper. If your seasoning blend doesn’t have salt, make sure to add some!
To go with my jerk seasoning, I’m making a cilantro lime finishing sauce. However, you can use any sauce you like, or toss them like chicken wings in buffalo, garlic parmesan, sweet chili, or others
It is normal for your air fryer to start smoking during cooking, due to the grease coming off the wings. Mine started around the 15 minute mark. Simply pause the air fryer and tip the drippings out carefully if this happens. Save the drippings for use making gravy or turkey stock later!
My store cuts smoked turkey wings into smaller pieces. If yours does as well, note that the wing tips and small sections were actually done around 17 minutes, whereas the drumsticks and larger portions took the full 25, verified via instant read thermometer
Store leftover turkey wings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months
To reheat smoked turkey wings, air fry for 10-15 minutes at 350°F, or until warmed through to 165°F again. You may also use a conventional oven for 20-30 minutes at 300°F
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand and flavor of ingredients, any sauces or sides added, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
