Ingredients You’ll Need

Turkey Wings
Onion
Fresh Garlic
Granulated Garlic
Onion Powder
Salt
Paprika
Cumin
Chipotle Chili Powder – If you don’t have this on hand feel free to use regular chili powder, although I love the smokiness the chipotle chili adds. I added a very small amount so this dish isn’t spicy but add more if you like it spicy.
Unsalted Butter
Water
All-purpose Flour
Heavy Cream
Oil

Top Tips For The Perfect Turkey Wings

You only have to pressure cook turkey wings for 25 minutes. The cooking time includes searing the wings, cooking the onions, and thickening the gravy.
Add all of the remaining spices to the instant pot.
If you don’t have all-purpose flour, feel free to use cornstarch instead.

Can I Use Chicken Wings Instead Of Turkey Wings?

Yes, but keep in mind that chicken wings are a lot smaller so they will cook a lot quicker.
