I made the best spicy turkey wings recipe for Thanksgiving this year. It is very keto friendly because turkey wings have more fat than other cuts of the turkey making them more tender and juicy. This recipe uses lemon juice in the marinade to mellow out some fo the turkey flavor to be more mild. There is also an autoimmune version of this recipe that leaves out the nightshade for those that are sensitive.
