HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Here in Canada, we are in the autumn season of our year. Autumn is not to be taken lightly with its stunning foliage. Its really quite a magical season that’s often overlooked. Ancient cultures, science and astrology have associated many aspects of this beautiful season to human life. These symbolic associations are powerful reminders that Mother Nature has an incredible influence on our lives. Soon most of the fall colors will disappear and slowly but surely, frosty white will take its place. I think its so important to take time to recognize these beautiful moments in our imperfect world.
Brion is a ‘wing’ man, so that’s always the part of the turkey that he goes for first. Turkey wings have all the flavor of a whole roast turkey without having to cook an entire bird. So for our thanksgiving this year, the spotlight is on the wings.
Unlike turkey legs, turkey wings are considered white meat but have a richer, more gamey flavor than turkey breast. Some time back, I came across a recipe on the internet for roasted turkey wings. All it requires is some Italian dressing & seasoning salt, so its beyond easy! Add your favorite side dishes and you have thanksgiving dinner.
Ingredients

|
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Season wings with seasoning salt; place in a roasting pan. Pour entire bottle of Italian dressing over the wings.
- Cover & bake for about 1 1/2 hours; flip wings over. Cover & bake for another hour or so. At this point you could uncover the wings & broil for about 10 minutes if you wish.
- One of my favorite seasoning spices is the Cajun 'Slap ya Mama' version.
