The Piedmont region is in the northwestern part of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. This preparation is typical of the red-wine braising done in this area. Or you can substitute an equal amount of white wine for the red, if you prefer. You'll love how straightforward and easy this recipe is. First, you cook the turkey, onion, and sage in the broth and wine. Make the gravy with the braising liquid from the turkey and a little bit of cornstarch. Slice the turkey, top with onions, drizzle with gravy, and this fabulous dinner is served. You can serve the turkey with sautéed broccoli rabe and quick-cooking polenta for a hearty meal.

To make the gravy, transfer 1/4 cup of the braising liquid to a small bowl and mix with the cornstarch. Transfer 1 cup of the braising liquid to a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the dissolved cornstarch. Return to heat and cook until thickened and translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.
