Equipment

Ingredients

3 pounds Turkey Wings
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

Add water to a large pot or sous vide container that is large enough to fully submerge the turkey wings without spilling over. Set the immersion circulator to your desired temperature (see chart below).
Pat the turkey wings dry with a paper towel. Season the turkey wings with your desired dried seasonings.
Place the seasoned turkey wings in a vacuum-sealed bag making sure to get as much air out as possible before sealing. You can also use the water displacement method (see below).
Submerge the vacuum-sealed bag of turkey wings in the sous vide water bath. Clip the bag to the side of the pot or container making sure it doesn't touch the bottom or sides. Cook for the desired amount of time.
When the turkey wings are done cooking, remove them from the water bath and place them on a plate or cutting board. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before patting dry with a paper towel and using your favorite finishing method.
