Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 F.
Combine seasonings.
Brush wings evenly with olive oil to coat.( Could also use melted butter)

*optional step for more flavor* Cover wings and let marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
Place the wings in a roasting pan and over tightly with foil.
Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
*optional step for a crisp skin* Uncover for the last few minutes and broil both sides to crisp up the skin.
Drain the excess juices from pan (you could also use some of the juices for broth if desired.)
Line the pan with foil and place turkey into the pan. Set aside.
To make the gravy, melt butter in deep skillet.
Add chopped veggies and sautéed until almost tender.
Whisk in flour and cook over medium heat until flour is golden and no longer has a raw flour taste.
Whisk in chicken broth, milk and heavy cream.
Simmer until gravy has thickened to your liking.
Pour the gravy over the turkey, cover and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
