Slow Cooker Smothered Turkey Wings

HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN, SOUL FOOD STYLE SMOTHERED TURKEY WINGS IN THE SLOW COOKER. FEATURING A HOMEMADE MUSHROOM AND ONION GRAVY THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Hey y’all!! So the other day I was craving some good old fashioned southern smothered turkey wings. However, I didn’t want to bake them in the oven. I know this sounds lazy, but I just didn’t want to do all the necessary steps for oven baked smothered turkey wings. You know.. The seasoning, then the baking, then making the gravy.. THEN removing the wings out of then oven, adding the graving, and MORE baking… Nope, I wasn’t having it y’all. I just wanted some smothered turkey wings, with less steps. That’s when I decided to cook my smothered turkey wings in the slow cooker!

I knew that if I made my turkey wings in the slow cooker it would prevent me from having to several steps. However, I still wanted to put in a little time to make a homemade gravy, because let’s face it- There ain’t no substitute for homemade gravy! No jar, no gravy mix, and no canned soup is going to even come close to that soulful homemade gravy that Grandma use to make. So let’s just keep it real, and make REAL GRAVY.

The homemade gravy that I made for these wings is a winner, and it’s prefect to go on rice or mashed potatoes. The gravy is loaded with fresh mushrooms & onions, and you already know that it’s seasoned perfection!

By slow cooking the turkey wings, they are sure to be falling of the bone tender once done.
