Ingredients
- 2 lbs turkey wings
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 lbs of turkey wings, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Rinse the turkey wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a better sear and flavor absorption.
- Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' mode. Once it's hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to heat up for a minute.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Season the turkey wings generously with salt and pepper. Place the wings in the pot, ensuring they are well coated with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot to avoid the burn warning.
- Close the Instant Pot lid securely and ensure the steam release valve is set to the sealing position.
- Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode on high pressure for 40 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes. After this, carefully switch the steam release valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- Once all the steam has been released and the pin has dropped, open the lid. Check the turkey wings for tenderness; they should be cooked through and easily pull apart with a fork.
- For added flavor, you can serve the turkey wings with the onion and garlic sauce from the pot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot turkey wings with your choice of sides!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onions and mince the garlic ahead of time. This way, you can quickly throw everything together when you're ready to cook.
- Sear for Flavor: Don’t skip the sauté step! Browning the onions and garlic enhances the overall flavor of the dish, creating a delicious base for your turkey wings.
- Season Generously: Be liberal with your salt and pepper when seasoning the turkey wings. This will ensure each bite is packed with flavor.
- Avoid the Burn Notice: When adding the chicken broth, make sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. This not only prevents the burn warning but also adds depth to the sauce.
- Check for Tenderness: After cooking, the wings should easily pull apart with a fork. If they aren’t tender enough, you can always pressure cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can brighten up the dish and add a pop of color, making it visually appealing.
- Pair with Sides: These turkey wings pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Choose your favorite sides to complete the meal!
