Ingredients

2.5 pounds of turkey wings
2 teaspoons olive oil
2.5 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Lemon Pepper Baste:

2.5 tablespoons olive oil
2.5 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer. Set the temperature to 380°F (193°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the turkey wings. Pat them dry with paper towels. Then, drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss them to ensure an even coating.
Season the turkey. Mix lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wings, rubbing it in to coat all sides thoroughly.
Create the lemon pepper baste. Whisk the remaining olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning in another bowl to make the baste.
Air fry the turkey wings. Place the lemon pepper wings in the air fryer in a single layer. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 12 - 13 minutes.
Apply the lemon pepper baste. After 12 - 13 minutes, generously apply the lemon pepper baste to each turkey wing using a basting brush. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor. Then, flip the wings, and brush with more lemon pepper.
Continue air frying. Put the wings back in the air fryer and cook for an additional 10 - 12 minutes until they reach a golden brown color and are thoroughly cooked.
Check for doneness. To ensure the turkeys are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey wings should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once the turkey wings are done, transfer them to a plate, and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the air fried turkey wings, and enjoy! Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, fries, or creamy mashed potatoes.

Notes

Remember that cooking durations may differ depending on the turkey’s thickness and your air fryer’s size and model. Before serving, ensure it has been cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC).
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 380°F (193°C) and then let it cook for 4 - 5 minutes without food.
You can skip preheating by adding 2 - 4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually to prevent burning the turkey wings.
I used a 6-quart (air fryer) to test the turkey wings. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
