Soak mushrooms in warm water. Dust turkey wings in flour. Over low heat, saut� onions, garlic, carrot, and red pepper in 2-3 tbs olive oil until onion softens. Remove vegetables. Turn heat to medium high and saut� turkey in remaining oil until nicely browned. Reduce heat, add saut�ed 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.
