Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 turkey drumsticks (about 5 pounds total)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Steps:

  • Rinse turkey and pat dry.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, oregano and pepper.
  • Dust turkey with flour mixture; set remaining flour mixture aside.
  • Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add turkey, a few pieces at a time (do not crowd pan); cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides. Transfer to a 4 to 6-quart baking pan.
  • Add onions and garlic to frying pan; cook, stirring often, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broth and wine, stirring to scrape browned bits free. Then add bay leaf, thyme and rosemary.
  • Pour broth mixture over turkey, cover, and bake in a 350*F (175*C) oven until turkey is very tender when pierced, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Lift turkey from baking pan and arrange in a serving dish.
  • Measure reserved flour mixture and blend with an equal amount of cold water; stir into pan juices. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
  • Spoon some of the sauce over turkey; pour remainder in a small serving dish and offer to spoon over individual servings.
