DIRECTIONS

1 ) Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2 ) Pat the turkey with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the turkey in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. 3 ) In a heavy roasting pan large enough to fit the turkey in a single layer, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until brown on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the turkey to a plate and reserve. 4 ) In the same pan used to brown the turkey, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Season vegetables with salt. Sweat until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. 5 ) Deglaze with the wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Return the turkey to the pan. 6 ) Add enough broth to come 2/3 up the sides of the turkey. 7 ) Add the herb sprigs, bay leaf, and garlic cloves to the broth mixture. 8 ) Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a loose fitting lid or cover made from parchment paper and place in preheated oven. 9 ) Turn the turkey after 1 hour and continue to braise until the turkey is fork-tender. To make the Gremolata combine the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, minced rosemary, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Cover and reserve until serving the turkey. To serve transfer the turkey to shallow serving bowls. Season the broth mixture with salt and pepper and ladle over the meat. Sprinkle each piece of turkey with a large pinch of Gremolata. Serve immediately.
