Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 breast of turkey (cut into 3 pieces, preferably by the butcher)
2 turkey thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely diced

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For osso buco:
5 1/2 to 6 pounds whole fresh turkey legs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 flat anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (16 fluid ounces)
1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped
For gremolata:
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Make ossobuco:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pat turkey legs dry. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper, then dredge 1 leg in flour mixture, knocking off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown leg, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes, and transfer to a large (17- by 12-inch) roasting pan. Meanwhile, dredge another leg. Continue to prepare, brown, and transfer legs in same manner, adding up to 4 tablespoons oil to skillet as needed.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, then add onion and anchovies and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is golden and anchovies are dissolved, 7 to 8 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes, then stir in broth and tomatoes with their juice.
  • Pour liquid over turkey legs and cover surface with a sheet of parchment paper, then tightly cover pan with foil. Transfer to oven and braise until meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Transfer legs to a cutting board and cut them into thigh and drumstick portions, then transfer to a deep platter. Skim off fat from sauce. If sauce measures more than 3 cups, boil until reduced. Season sauce with salt and pepper and pour over turkey.
  • Make gremolata:
  • Stir together garlic, parsley, and zests and sprinkle over turkey just before serving.

MARIE'S TURKEY OSSO BUCCO



Marie's Turkey Osso Bucco image

A less expensive but equally as rich-tasting slow-cooker version of the traditional Osso Bucco. Do NOT use boneless turkey meat as the dark meat of the leg and thigh as well as the bones contribute greatly to the taste of the finished product. Osso Bucco is tradionally served over Risotto Milanese and this is wonderful that way; but it's just as good over saffron or plain white rice. Leftovers seldon occur, when they do...they are even tastier then the first day. This dish freezes superbly!
