Can’t wait to try them...

If anyone has ever cooked these with success please let me know. They were very tough and I didn't like the taste at all.  Lucky they only cost $7.65, no big loss, 2nd worst cook ever...

Same here on the gobbler wings - tuff & no flavor!

Been down that road and got the same outcome.  Must be the turkey...
Won't try again.

I wonder if turning them into a "leg" and flat a la Buffalo wings, then SV then smoking (or searing) would improve their texture.

Two things.

1. I believe @Mickey cooks these regularly, maybe he has some advice
2. “Second worst cook...”. Ok, so tell me about the first...

I did them back in January- loved them.  Don’t know how to paste a link to my post.

I cook them whenever I can get 'em.

Break them up. The tip portion for stock. The bottom portion for roasting. The center portion is sometimes call "turkey ribs." I slice away the really tough excess skin along the edges.  I do them much like ribs. Well rubbed, lo-slo dome no higher than 275. At 190F IT, the meat is usually tender, tho' not falling of the bone. In fact, I usually save the too chewy remnants for stock.

First Steaks (first cook), didn't let them smoke clear - tender but all smoke. Family wouldn't let me cook on the egg for weeks, finally got it down...

Interesting idea on the cook, just don't think me family would try them again...

Turkey wings are outstanding!

Love turkey wings and legs. 400 raised direct NO SMOKING WOOD. Have (once ) went indirect but like direct better.
