    Osso Buco, which means “bone with a hole”, is Italian comfort food. This Milanese dish is made with braised veal shank in a base of carrots, celery, onion, white wine, and tomato sauce.

    In France, I often used to eat some veal. But these days finding veal in the U.S. seems harder than it should be in a grocery store…  and it is also expensive. For this recipe, I replaced veal with some turkey thighs.

    With my Instant Pot, the Turkey Osso Buco is tender and tasty in just less than one hour. If you do not have Instant Pot do not worry, you can make this recipe on the stove by following the steps of my recipe (see notes*). It will just take more time to cook.

    How do you serve Turkey Osso Buco?


    Traditionally, a gremolata, a simple mixture of Italian parsley, garlic, zest of lemon, or orange is added on top of the meat to brighten the dish.

    A saffron risotto or creamy polenta is the classic accompaniment. But pasta or mashed potatoes goes well too.

    Servings 4 people

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 pounds turkey thighs at room temperature, trimmed (skin and fat removed)
    • 1 onion minced
    • 2 carrots diced
    • 1 celery stick diced
    • 2 garlic diced
    • 3-4 sprigs thyme
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
    • ½ cup white wine
    • 1 ¼ chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided

    For the gremolata

    • ¼ cup Italian parsley
    • 1 lemon zested organic
    • 1 orange zested organic
    • 1 garlic diced
    • salt, and pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Before starting, be sure to have all the ingredients ready!
    • Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels and make sure it is at room temperature. Salt, pepper each piece on both sides, and lightly coat with the flour.
    • On the Instant Pot, press the saute button, and adjust the heat to medium. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil. When it is hot, brown the meat on both sides (about 3-4 min. by side) and transfer the turkey to a plate.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Saute onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until tender (about 4 min.). Add the wine scraping off any brown bits from the bottom and cook for 2 min. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for one minute. Pour the chicken broth, stir well, place the turkey back in the pot with the thyme, and bay leaf.
    • Secure the lid and verify that the pressure valve is closed. Cook for 30 minutes at high pressure. Naturally, release the pressure for 10 minutes, then open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
    • Meanwhile, make the gremolata for topping the osso buco. In a small bowl, mix the chopped parsley, garlic, zest of lemon and orange (optional), a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    • Remove the herbs from the Instant Pot. Transfer the meat into a bowl. Taste the sauce and add more seasoning if needed. Pour the sauce over the meat and top each thigh with gremolata.
    • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, polenta, or with Minalese risotto.
