Add 1 tablespoon rosemary, bay leaf, 2 tablespoons parsley and the wine; continue cooking about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the lemon peel strips, tomato paste and broth. Drain mushrooms; discard the liquid. Add mushrooms to skillet. Heat to simmering then pour over the turkey in baking dish.
