  1. Heat oven to 400°F. In large roasting pan, toss turkey wings and vegetables with oil, rosemary, 4 sprigs thyme and 1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper. Roast until turkey is golden brown and cooked through, about 1 hr. 15 min.
  2. Remove turkey and vegetables from pan; strain pan drippings into fat separator (or measuring cup). Let stand 5 min. Leaving fat behind (or spooning it off if not using a separator), pour juices into 4-cup measuring cup.
  3. Place roasting pan over 2 stove burners on medium-high. Add wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 1 min. Pour wine mixture into the measuring cup with pan juices; add enough chicken broth to make 4 cups liquid total.
  4. Melt butter in large saucepan on medium. Sprinkle in flour and cook, whisking, until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 min. Gradually whisk in wine-broth mixture; bring to a boil. Add remaining thyme, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 12 min. Season with 1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper. Strain and serve.

MAKE AHEAD

Transfer cooled gravy to a resealable bag or container and freeze up to 2 months. To serve, thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
