Ingredients
2 lbs turkey wings, separated at joints
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Instructions
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Add turkey wings and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove turkey from marinade (reserve marinade) and brown wings on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Pour reserved marinade into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until turkey is tender and sauce has thickened slightly.
Season with salt if needed. Serve hot over steamed rice.
Tips
For a richer flavor, marinate the turkey wings overnight in the refrigerator.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 10 minutes of cooking to reduce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
