Turkey wings

Turkey wings are the upper part of the turkey's limbs, similar to chicken wings but larger in size and with a firmer texture. This cut is highly valued in cooking for its mild flavor and versatility, ideal for preparing everything from stews and soups to fried or baked dishes, making it an excellent option for those looking for an alternative to chicken wings.

The turkey is native to North America, specifically Mexico, where it has been domesticated since pre-Columbian times. Currently, turkey and its cuts are widely consumed throughout the American continent and the world.

Regarding their nutritional properties, turkey wings are a good source of lean protein, with a moderate content of healthy fats, in addition to providing B-complex vitamins and minerals such as zinc and iron, which help strengthen the immune system and keep the metabolism active.

In different regions of Hispanic America, turkey wings may be known by other names or similar terms such as alas de pavo or simply alitas de guajolote (in Mexico, where "guajolote" is synonymous with turkey). However, the term turkey wings is the most common and easily recognizable in culinary recipes.
