For those who find their selves in my predicament here is the reply
from the producer.

Wrap each piece tightly in aluminum foil and place in a shallow
pan with a small
amount of water. Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately
70 minutes to
an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

For smoked turkey wings use the exact same instructions but
cook for only
30-35 minutes; again to an internal temperature of 160
degrees F.

I'm sorry but I do not have any suggestions as to reduce the salt.
If there's a different lot number on the product label it might not
be salty like the first package. I will certainly inform the
Product Manager and our Quality Assurance Department of your
complaint. And, I'll be happy to compensate you for purchase. Just
send me the purchase price along with your address and I'll be happy
to send you coupons or a refund.

I hope this information is helpful. I look forward to speaking with
you.
