2 lbs turkey ribs – Choose fresh or fully thawed turkey ribs for the best texture and flavor.
2 tbsp olive oil – Helps the seasoning stick while keeping the meat moist.
1 tbsp lemon juice – Adds brightness and helps tenderize the meat.

1 tsp garlic powder – Adds deep savory flavor.
1 tsp onion powder – Enhances the richness of the ribs.
1 tsp smoked paprika – Provides a subtle smokiness perfect for oven-baked ribs.
1 tsp ground black pepper – Balances the seasonings with a mild heat.
½ tsp cayenne pepper optional – For those who enjoy a touch of spice.
1 tbsp brown sugar – Helps with caramelization creating a slightly crispy crust.
1 ½ tsp salt – Essential for bringing out the natural flavors of the turkey.

For those who enjoy a sweet and tangy finish this glaze takes the ribs to the next level.
¼ cup melted butter – Adds richness and helps lock in moisture.
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup – Creates a lightly caramelized coating.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar – Balances the sweetness with a hint of acidity.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures steady, even cooking.
Pat the turkey ribs dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior.
Apply lemon juice to the ribs, letting it sit for a few minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and enhances flavor.

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne (if using), brown sugar, and salt to create a flavorful dry rub.
Coat the ribs evenly with olive oil, then massage the spice rub into the meat, making sure every part is well covered.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack to allow air circulation.
Loosely cover the ribs with aluminum foil to lock in moisture and prevent drying.
Bake for 45 minutes, letting the flavors penetrate while keeping the meat tender.

Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, allowing the ribs to develop a golden-brown crust.

If you want a sweet and savory glaze, mix melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
Brush the glaze over the ribs during the final 10 minutes of baking, letting it caramelize for extra flavor and a sticky, glossy finish.

Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain moisture and ensures a juicy bite.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy the perfectly cooked turkey ribs.
