Keywords: For added flavor, marinate turkey wings overnight with your favorite spices. Consider adding diced carrots or celery during simmering for extra texture and nutrients. If gravy is too thick, add a splash of water or broth; if too thin, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the simmering gravy.
