Turkey Wings Cacciatora ala Marsala

6 turkey wings, cut at joints, reserve third joint for a broth
1 large onion, chopped coarsely
2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 carrot, diced finely
1 red pepper, chopped coarsely
2 or 3 medium sized tomatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
2 cups strong chicken broth
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine, (dry sherry substitute if you must)
1/4 cup olive oil, strong flavored extra-virgin if possible
3 heaping tablespoon flour
2-3 tablespoon corn starch or arrowroot
Salt and Fresh ground black pepper
1 cup dried mushrooms of strong flavor, (boletes, lepiotas, Lyophyllum decastes, morels)
1/2 cup dried or fresh celery leaves
Generous pinch of dried thyme and oregano
4-6 bay leaves
Some fresh or dried basil
2 tsp granulated sugar

Soak mushrooms in warm water. Dust turkey wings in flour. Over low heat, sauté onions, garlic, carrot, and red pepper in 2-3 tbs olive oil until onion softens. Remove vegetables. Turn heat to medium high and sauté turkey in remaining oil until nicely browned. Reduce heat, add sautéed vegetables, celery leaves, bay leaves, and mushrooms with liquor. Salt and black pepper to taste. Add wine and chicken broth. Simmer or put covered in 350 degree oven until turkey is tender and beginning to fall off bones, (60 to 90 min).

Check occasionally, and add more broth or water to keep one or two inches in pan. Remove turkey and bay leaves. Mix cornstarch with a little water and introduce to sauce. Add other herbs and sugar. Reduce sauce over high heat until consistency of medium cream. Correct seasonings. Return turkey wings, basting with sauce, and place under broiler to glaze. Serve with white rice, (preferably Basmati type).

Serves 6.
