Ingredients

Directions

  1. Separate turkey wings at the joints and discard the tips.
  2. Place turkey wings, chicken broth, chopped celery, and salt into a slow cooker.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the wings are tender and meat is falling off the bone.
  4. Drain the slow cooker, reserving exactly 1 1/2 cups of the cooking broth for the sauce.
  5. In a large skillet, whisk together cornstarch, brown sugar, reserved broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce until smooth.
  6. Cook the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes clear.
  7. Stir in the green pepper pieces and drained pineapple chunks.
  8. Simmer the sauce and vegetables for 2 minutes to soften the peppers slightly.
  9. Add the drained, cooked turkey wings to the skillet.
  10. Toss wings gently to coat them evenly in the sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  11. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
