Rub the turkey wings with olive oil, and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
2️⃣ Sear the Turkey Wings:
In a large oven-safe pan or skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey wings and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
3️⃣ Add Aromatics and Broth:
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and honey. Stir to combine.
4️⃣ Bake the Turkey Wings:
Cover the pan with foil and bake in the oven for about 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the turkey wings are tender and cooked through. Baste with the pan juices halfway through.

Add the rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes to lightly toast it.
2️⃣ Cook the Rice:
