Ingredients

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

Instructions

Season turkey with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Working in batches, cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 15 –20 minutes per batch; transfer to a large plate. 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. 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, 2 1/2 –3 hours. Add carrots and cook, uncovered, until carrots are soft and meat is falling off the bone, 35 –45 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer turkey and carrots to a platter. Strain sauce; serve alongside. Top with chives and 1/2 cup chopped parsley.
