Turkey Tonnato
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.
