Turkey Osso Buco

This turkey osso buco is a sophisticated yet simple take on the traditional Italian braise, swapping veal for succulent, flavourful turkey legs. This dairy-free main course relies on a fragrant base of white wine, tomatoes, and anchovies, which dissolve during the slow-cooking process to provide a deep, savoury umami base. The long, slow braise ensures the meat becomes incredibly tender, falling away from the bone and soaking up the rich, aromatic sauce.

Ideal for a comforting weekend dinner or a stress-free dinner party, this dish is finished with a vibrant gremolata of lemon, orange, and fresh parsley. The citrus topping provides a bright contrast to the slow-cooked meat, cutting through the richness for a perfectly balanced meal. Serve this homemade favourite alongside crusty bread or a portion of creamy polenta to mop up every drop of the delicious sauce.

Ingredients for Turkey Osso Buco

  • 5 1/2 to 2.7kg whole fresh turkey legs

  • 60g plain flour

  • 1 tesked salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 4 flat anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped

  • 240 ml torrt vitt vin

  • 475ml reduced-sodium chicken broth (16 fluid ounces)

  • 1 (400g) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 2 matskedar finhackad färsk bladpersilja

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest

  • parchment paper

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 177°C.

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 60ml 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 725ml , boil until reduced. Season sauce with salt and pepper and pour over turkey.

Stir together garlic, parsley, and zests and sprinkle over turkey just before serving.
