Turkey Tonnato

/5

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 onion
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 3 cloves
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • 200 g canned tuna
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 500 ml white wine
  • Vegetable broth, as needed
  • 800 g turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon pickled capers

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Tie the turkey breast with kitchen twine as you would a roast.
  • In a pan, add the turkey, carrot, celery, onion, rosemary, bay leaves, cloves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Sear on all sides until golden.
  • Deglaze with white wine for extra flavor, then cover completely with vegetable broth (or water) and cook over low heat for 1 hour with the lid on.
  • Check the doneness: if pink liquid emerges, cook for another 15 minutes; if clear, it’s ready; if no liquid, the meat is too dry.
  • Once cooked, let the turkey cool in the cooking broth (to prevent darkening). Then place on a cutting board and remove the twine.

Tonnato Sauce

  • Boil the eggs until hard-boiled and chop them. In a bowl, combine the crumbled tuna, chopped anchovies, capers, and eggs.
  • Add a bit of olive oil and a ladle of cooking broth, then blend with an immersion blender until you get a creamy sauce.

Serving

  • Slice the turkey into thin pieces and arrange on a serving plate.
  • Garnish with the tonnato sauce and some capers. Serve and enjoy.
