Ingredients

  • 4 turkey wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads (optional)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat the turkey wings dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey wings.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey wings and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast the turkey wings for 1 hour, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  7. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, chicken broth, turmeric, cumin, saffron threads (if using), and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  9. Remove the cooked turkey wings from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Serve the turkey wings over the yellow rice and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
