Smother Smoked Turkey Wings In This Creamy Canned Soup For Double The Deliciousness

Learning to combine several store-bought ingredients into one mouthwatering meal is a great way to start your home cooking journey. Between a package of pre-smoked wings, an onion, garlic, and bell peppers, the only thing missing is a couple of cans of soup to make your dish come to life. Canned cream of celery soup is the secret ingredient of this fulfilling meal. As TikTok creator @dasliderguy explained in a video, "What I love about this dish is that it's hard to mess up." 

To start, roughly chop onions, garlic, and peppers. Then add them to an oven-safe pan, pour two cans of condensed cream of celery soup over the top, and stir. Add the smoked turkey wings on top along with chicken broth, a sprinkle of poultry rub, and a few bay leaves. Cover with foil and bake in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 90 minutes, or until the turkey wings are fall-off-the-bone tender. 

When preparing this dish, avoid the one mistake when cooking store-bought smoked turkey wings: avoid adding too much poultry rub, as they come pre-salted. The smoky flavor of the turkey wings, bell peppers, and aromatics will perfectly accent the creamy, veggie-forward canned soup. Meanwhile, the oven-baking process will yield tender turkey and flavorful vegetables. There are endless options for serving and elevating the dish, too.

As this recipe bakes until the smoked turkey wings are tender enough to fall off the bone, consider carefully removing the bones before serving your dish for a more aesthetically pleasing presentation and easier eating. Try spooning this over steamed white or brown rice, or any other starchy side. Baked or mashed potatoes or your favorite pasta will stretch this dish even further. If you're new to cooking, simplify the prep work with packaged rice or store-bought pre-made mashed potatoes.

This smoked turkey recipe is a prime example of why cream of celery sits among the best canned soups for simplified recipes; however, you can always get creative with other options. Try one can each of cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup to add even more poultry flavor alongside the chicken broth. Use a can of cream of mushroom soup for extra umami notes. In addition to the bell peppers, play off the soup with extra vegetables like celery and carrots.

As for seasoning, @dasliderguy provided a recipe for a homemade blend of spices for the rub in their TikTok below. However, you can streamline it with a store-bought variety such as Kinder's Roast Chicken with Garlic and Herbs seasoning.
