Turkey wings are among the most economical meats available, and one of the best ways to prepare them is baked in the oven.
In this recipe, the "baker's" potatoes are oven-fried to make them healthier, but you can also roast the potatoes as usual if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 2 large turkey wings cut in half
• 6 medium potatoes cut into wedges
• 1 large onion cut into wedges
• 2 bay leaves
• 8 cloves of garlic
• 1 heaping tablespoon of red pepper paste, preferably homemade
• 6 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 300 ml (10.1 fl oz) of white wine
• Salt
• 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• Pepper

Instructions

1. 1
   In a mortar, place the garlic cloves cut in half, a bit of salt (consider that if your red pepper paste is homemade, it may already be salty), and the rosemary.
   Mash everything very well until it becomes a paste.
   Add pepper and red pepper paste to the paste.
   Mix everything very well.
