What temperature do you air fry a turkey at?

You’re going to air fry your turkey wings at 375F. For 30 minutes, this will assure you of a properly cooked interior.

Do you use whole wings or split?

It’s not necessary to cut the wings up unless you want to. I find they’re easier to serve this way, plus they’ll cook more evenly. If you’re unsure how to do it, you can have the butcher split them for you.

Where to buy turkey wings?

You can find turkey wings at just about any supermarket. If you don’t see them in the meat section, ask the butcher if they carry them. You can also go to a butcher shop for them.

How do you tell when the turkey wings are done?

Turkey wings are done when the internal temperature is at 165F. Use a meat thermometer to be sure they’re completely cooked through!

Can you use chicken wings?

Yes, you most certainly can! In fact, if you can’t find turkey wings near you or prefer chicken to turkey, this recipe will work beautifully with chicken wings.

How do you season turkey?

To season turkey, you’ll clean it and pat it dry first. Then add all the ingredients for the turkey to season the wings before putting them in your air fryer. Alternatively, you can season your turkey with your favorite seasonings.

Instructions

Gather. The ingredients are simple but to ensure you don’t leave something out by mistake, gather everything first.
Prep the wings. Next, wash and clean the turkey wings. You will likely need to cut the tips off of yours (I had to on mine).
Season Turkey Wings. Put the wings into a bowl with the remaining ingredients listed for the turkey (Lemon pepper seasoning, olive oil, Dry parsley, Knorr bouillon, Onion powder, Garlic powder, Dried thyme, Lemon juice, and Salt). Combine to ensure that every part of each turkey wing is soaked with spices. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
Air fry Turkey Wings. When ready to cook, place the seasoned turkey wings into your air fryer basket. Set the time to 30 minutes and the temperature to 375F. Make sure you turn the wings half-way through the cooking time. They will be ready when they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
Make the Lemon Pepper Butter sauce. While your turkey wings are cooking, make the lemon pepper butter sauce by melting the butter in the microwave and adding all the sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.
Toss and coat. When both the sauce and wings are ready, toss them together to coat while still hot. Allow them to cool slightly before you serve them.

Notes

Trim your wings to cut off the tips first. If you’re unsure how to do that, you can also ask the butcher in the meat department to trim them for you.

Please note that I didn’t add salt to this recipe because I used salted lemon pepper seasoning, Knorr chicken bouillon as well as salted butter. You will need salt if you use unsalted lemon pepper seasoning or unsalted butter!

If possible, allow the turkey wings to marinate before air frying. This allows the flavors to intensify.

Please do not skip the lemon pepper butter sauce; it makes a lot of difference in this recipe!

Let the wings rest for about 10 to 15 minutes after cooking. They will be juiciest this way.

Don’t waste the drippings. You can make a tasty gravy out of them!

You can make this ahead, especially if you are prepping for Thanksgiving or any other occasion. This is my air fryer!
