Osso bucco is an Italian dish that traditionally uses beef or veal shanks, but this variation uses turkey to provide a lighter and healthier take on the classic. The turkey meat is slowly braised in a flavorful broth with aromatic vegetables and wine to create tender and succulent meat that is perfect for chilly evenings or special occasions. A sprinkle of gremolata, with fresh parsley, lemon, and garlic, adds an extra layer of flavor and freshness to the dish, making it a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.Sprinkle the turkey pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge the turkey in flour to coat lightly.
3.In a large heavy ovenproof pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
4.Add the turkey to the pot and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 minutes.
5.Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turkey to a plate and set aside.
6.Add onion, carrot, and celery to the same pot and saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
7.Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
8.Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
9.Add the chicken broth, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic to the pot.
10.Return the turkey to the pot and spoon some of the sauce over the turkey.
11.Bring the mixture to a simmer.
12.Cover the pot and place it in the oven.
13.Bake until the turkey is tender, about 2 hours.
