Rich turkey-leg meat (about $2 a pound) is a foolproof stand-in for the traditional veal shank. Ingredients:
4 turkey thighs or drumsticks, cut crosswise (by the butcher) into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
1 small onion, peeled and chopped |
1 celery stalk, chopped |
1 carrot, peeled and chopped |
2 cups marinara sauce |
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or dry white wine |
a few sprigs of fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme) |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. 2. In an uncovered Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the turkey pieces on both sides in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, about 20 minutes. Remove them from the pan; set aside.
3. 3. Brown the onion, celery, and carrot in the remaining olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes.
4. 4. Return the turkey pieces to the pan and add the mari-nara, broth or wine, and herbs. Simmer in the oven, covered, until the meat is fork-tender, about 1/1/2 hours.
5. Tip: If you don't have a Dutch oven, use a shallow metal baking pan covered with foil.
