Cajun Turkey Wings

Would you guys believe I learned this recipe from my aunt (may she rest in peace) when I was 13 years old, I don't remember every spice she used but I do remember seeing garlic powder, onion powder, cajun seasoning, salt, pepper & basil. Man oh' man does this bring back so many memories, she had a thing for waking up at like 11pm and making full course meals, we would cook, eat and watch "Married with Children" LOL. The good ole' days!

These turkey wings are so delicious and flavorful and are easy to make. Just remember to cover tightly when baking so that they can bake in their own juices, if you like Cajun dishes, you'll love these turkey wings.
