Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 2 smoked turkey wings in a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Brush the honey glaze evenly over the turkey wings.
  2. Step 2: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the wings for 1 hour, basting with more glaze every 20 minutes, until the meat is tender and heated through.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, place 3 peeled and cubed medium sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water (use 1/2 tsp salt). Bring to a boil and cook for 15-18 minutes until very tender.
  4. Step 4: Drain sweet potatoes and return to pot. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Serve glazed smoked turkey wings hot alongside the sweet potato mash.
