Ingredients

8 turkey drumsticks, trimmed for presentation
1 1⁄2 cups flour
1⁄4 cup olive oil
4 tbsp. butter
2 onions, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1⁄2 tsp. fresh basil, chopped
1⁄2 tsp. fresh oregano, chopped
2 cups white wine
Grated zest of 2 lemons
Juice of one lemon
2 cups beef stock
8 cups prepared polenta with sage and Parmesan.
