Braised Turkey Legs

Ingredients:

2 skin-on, bone-in turkey drumsticks (about 1½ pounds)
2 skin-on, bone-in turkey thighs (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large leeks, white and pale-green parts only, chopped
6 celery stalks, thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic cloves, crushed
1½ cups dry white wine
4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, plus ½ cup chopped leaves
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs sage
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
8 small carrots, tops trimmed to ½ inch, carrots halved lengthwise
¼ cup chopped fresh chives

Preparation:

1.Season turkey with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Working in batches, cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 15–20 minutes per batch; transfer to a large plate.

2.Add onion, leeks, celery, and garlic to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5–8 minutes. Add wine, parsley, and thyme and sage sprigs; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, 8–10 minutes.

3.Return turkey to pot and add broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until meat is tender and cooked through and liquid is reduced by half, 2½–3 hours. Add carrots and cook, uncovered, until carrots are soft and meat is falling off the bone, 35–45 minutes longer; season with salt and pepper.

4.Transfer turkey and carrots to a platter. Strain sauce; serve alongside. Top with chives and chopped parsley.
