Turkey Osso Buco

['5 1/2 to 6 pounds whole fresh turkey legs', '1/2 cup all-purpose flour', '1 teaspoon salt', '1/2 teaspoon black pepper', '6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil', '1 large onion, chopped', '4 flat anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped', '1 cup dry white wine', '2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (16 fluid ounces)', '1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped', '1 garlic clove, minced', '2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley', '1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest', '1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest', 'parchment paper']

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Pat turkey legs dry. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper, then dredge 1 leg in flour mixture, knocking off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown leg, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes, and transfer to a large (17- by 12-inch) roasting pan. Meanwhile, dredge another leg. Continue to prepare, brown, and transfer legs in same manner, adding up to 4 tablespoons oil to skillet as needed.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, then add onion and anchovies and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is golden and anchovies are dissolved, 7 to 8 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes, then stir in broth and tomatoes with their juice.
Pour liquid over turkey legs and cover surface with a sheet of parchment paper, then tightly cover pan with foil. Transfer to oven and braise until meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Transfer legs to a cutting board and cut them into thigh and drumstick portions, then transfer to a deep platter. Skim off fat from sauce. If sauce measures more than 3 cups, boil until reduced. Season sauce with salt and pepper and pour over turkey.
Stir together garlic, parsley, and zests and sprinkle over turkey just before serving.
