Steps
Follow these simple steps carefully, and you’ll serve a chef-quality dish. Remember: patience in cooking is the secret to achieving incredibly tender and flavorful Turkey Osso Buco!
Cut with a knife, the ends of the skin surrounding each turkey osso buco: this step is essential to prevent them from curling during cooking.
Lightly flour the osso buco on both sides, removing excess flour. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil and the pat of butter in a large non-stick pan.
Brown the floured turkey osso buco on both sides until they are nicely golden; this seals them for perfect pan cooking.
Deglaze with half a glass of dry white wine and let the alcohol evaporate completely over high heat.
Remove the browned osso buco and set them aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add the carrot, celery, and onion mix (the “soffritto”). Sweat them gently over low heat for about 5 minutes, adding a couple of tablespoons of broth if necessary to prevent burning.
Now, return the turkey osso buco to the pan on top of the soffritto.
Immediately after, add the peas (if using frozen ones, no need to thaw them first).
Then, pour the remaining hot broth (or enough to cover about half the height of the meat).
Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat.
Turn the turkey osso buco occasionally and check that the sauce doesn’t dry out too much (if it does, add more broth). Cooking takes about 45-55 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
Check the doneness of the meat: it should easily come away from the bone. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Plate the Turkey Osso Buco with Peas.
Then add a generous sprinkle of grated lemon zest (only the yellow part!), to give a touch of freshness.
Finally, sprinkle the dish with a dash of fresh chopped parsley. Serve this amazing Turkey Osso Buco with Peas cooked in a pan immediately!

Turkey Substitute: If you prefer, you can use veal osso buco, extending the cooking time by about 20-30 minutes (up to 1.5 hours total).
For a More Intense Flavor: Deglaze the turkey osso buco after browning and before adding the broth with half a glass of dry white wine. Allow the alcohol to completely evaporate.
The Gremolada (Lombard Variation): To replicate the touch of tradition, mix lemon zest and parsley with a finely chopped garlic clove and distribute it over the meat only when fully cooked.
Butter-Free Version: If you’re looking for a lighter version, brown the meat using only good quality extra virgin olive oil. The taste will be slightly less creamy but still delicious.
The Peas: You can replace the peas with fresh green beans or champignon mushrooms, for a seasonal and different variation of these fantastic Turkey Osso Buco with Peas.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use dried peas or only fresh/frozen ones?
It is strongly recommended to use fresh or frozen peas. If you choose dried ones, you’ll need to soak and parboil them, significantly extending the preparation time.
How can I make the sauce thicker and creamier?
If the sauce is too liquid at the end of cooking, remove the meat and reduce the sauce over high heat for a few minutes. An alternative is to add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold broth at the end of cooking.
Can I prepare the osso buco in advance?
Absolutely yes! The next day they are even better because the flavors have melded. Slowly heat them in a pan over low heat, adding a bit of broth to maintain moisture.
What side dish pairs best?
The classic pairing is mashed potatoes or soft polenta, which are perfect for soaking up the sauce. Also great are plain rice or steamed vegetables.
