📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.

3. Dredge each turkey drumstick in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

5. Sear the turkey drumsticks on all sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Remove and set aside.

6. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven.

7. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

8. Deglaze the pot by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

9. Stir in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf.

10. Return the turkey drumsticks to the Dutch oven, making sure they are partially submerged in the liquid.

11. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven.

12. Cook for about 90 minutes, or until the turkey is tender and falling off the bone.

13. While the turkey is cooking, prepare the gremolata by mixing the parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

14. Once the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and discard the bay leaf.

15. Serve the turkey osso bucco with the sauce spooned over the top, and garnish with the gremolata.
