TURKEY TONNATO (ITALIAN COLD TURKEY IN TUNA CAPER SAUCE)
This traditional Italian dish is originally made with veal. Turkey is the next best thing and this actually tastes and looks quite fancy. You can make everything ahead of time but ONLY assemble at the last minute. Its just great to serve at buffets, you'd never imagine a can of tuna could be transformed to such heights! Serve with lots of salad and tomatoes and some cold new potatoes. The fresh herbs in the broth are essential as are the capers and the anchovies in the sauce (which you wont really taste) Great stuff!

Steps:
- To cook the Turkey, put everything into a large pan and snuggle the turkey steaks amongst it.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, turning once or twice over a low heat. Allow to cool completely in the broth and refrigerate until ready to assemble (still in the broth) This can be done the day before.
- No more than 2 hours before you want to serve it, take the turkey out of the broth and pat dry on paper towels, strain the broth through a sieve into a bowl and discard the vegetables and herbs.
- Arrange the dry turkey onto a serving platter in a neat slightly overlapping fashion.
- Make the sauce (can also be done the day before) by putting everything in the blender or food processor apart from the broth. Blend thoroughly and little by little add the broth until the sauce is the consistency of thick pouring cream.
- Neatly pour over the turkey and garnish with the olives capers and parsley and refrigerate until ready to serve for no more than 2 hours.
- Exquisite.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place slivers of garlic on the inside of the turkey breast and roll into neat package, tie with kitchen twine. Rub olive oil all over the roast and season with salt and pepper. If turkey breast was purchased tied, make small slits on the outside of the roast and insert the slivered garlic into the slits.
- Put the onion, celery, and chopped garlic in roasting pan with 1/2 cup of the stock. Lay seasoned turkey breast roll on top. Lightly tent pan with foil. Add more stock, as necessary, to keep vegetables from burning. Roast for about 45 minutes, until internal temperature registers 160 degrees F.
- Remove and let cool in pan. When turkey is room temperature, wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. Discard the onion, celery, and garlic.
- To make the sauce: Put the tuna, anchovies, 2 tablespoons of parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice in blender. Using short pulses, puree the mixture. Scrape the sides down frequently and stir to ensure even blending. When smooth, add the mayonnaise, capers, and white pepper and blend. Add the cream, a little at a time until you have desired texture and flavor. Additional white pepper, lemon, or anchovy may be added at this point, if desired. The sauce may be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
- To serve, arrange the selection of greens, fennel, and corn on platter. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Slice turkey thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, and arrange on top of the greens. Drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with minced parsley and olives.

VITELLO TONNATO (COLD VEAL WITH TUNA SAUCE)
There are many versions of this classic Italian dish; it has been served to me in all the regions of Italy, but I think it originated in Lombardy. It is not hard to make, and it is really refreshing on a hot summer day. It looks beautiful on a buffet table. It can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for several days. Originally from Gourmet with two decades of revisions. Cooking time includes refrigerator time.

Steps:
- For the veal place the meat, carrots, onions, celery, parsley, bay leaf and peppercorns in a fairly snug pot and add water to cover.
- Cover and simmer for one hour. Check from time to time to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom.
- Let cool in the cooking liquid for one hour.
- Cover the veal with a plate and 2 lb weight and cool completely in the cooking liquid. (The purpose of weighing down the meat is to insure compact slices when cut. I usually omit this step because I don't have a kitchen weight.).
- Store in refrigerator until assembly. If you feel creative, you could make something good with the broth; otherwise, it is discarded.
- For the tuna sauce whip the mayonnaise, tuna, anchovy fillets, onion, and lemon juice at high speed in the processor fitted with a steel blade.
- With the motor running add the milk in a thin stream until the desired consistency is reached. It should be thick but pourable.
- For the assembly remove and discard any remaining bits of rubbery membrane on the veal and slice it thinly, no more than 1/4 inch thick. If some of the slices crumble, don't despair. It will still be good.
- Smear 1/4 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a rimmed platter (I prefer glass).
- Place the veal slices in slightly overlapping circles in the platter, and cover generously and completely with the sauce.
- If you have more veal you can add another layer; just be sure that all is covered by the sauce.
- (If you have more sauce than you need (it is tasty), you can combine it with cubed cooked cold chicken, turkey, or fish, or pour it over cold hard-boiled eggs.).
- The dish should cool in the refrigerator for several hours or up to 2-3 days, covered with plastic wrap.
- Before serving sprinkle on the capers, optional parsley, and garnish with the lemon slices, if desired.

Steps:
- Put the mayo, most of the capers, 1 whole anchovy, the tuna and most of the lemon juice into a food processor. Whizz until the tuna is completely mixed into the mayo. Season with pepper first, then taste, and add salt and more lemon juice, if you need to. If your sauce seems a bit thick, whizz in a drop of water. Can be made up to a day ahead.
- Spread the turkey and rocket over a large serving plate, then spoon over the dressing and scatter with the remaining capers and sliced anchovy. Serve straight away with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Make filling and prepare roast:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together tapenade, zest, garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl.
- Arrange turkey, skin side up, on a work surface with narrower, pointed end nearest you. Determine which long side of the breast is thickest, then, starting from that side and holding knife parallel to work surface, cut breast horizontally almost in half, stopping 1 inch from other side. Open breast like a book. Season breast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread tapenade mixture evenly on breast with the back of a spoon, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Starting from the side without skin, roll up turkey sideways, ending seam side down (skin will be on outside of rolled breast). Tie rolled turkey breast crosswise at 1-inch intervals with kitchen string. Pat roast dry, then sprinkle outside all over with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Cook roast:
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a 12-inch heavy skillet until hot but not smoking, then brown turkey, turning occasionally, 8 minutes total. Transfer to a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan and add wine to pan. Roast turkey, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part registers 160°F, about 1 hour.
- Transfer roast to a platter to cool, reserving pan juices. Cool roast completely, uncovered, then chill, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, 2 hours.
- Make sauce:
- Purée tuna (including oil), 1/2 cup olive oil, water, lemon juice, anchovy paste, and 4 tablespoons of reserved pan juices in a blender, stopping and scraping down sides as necessary, until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 1 hour.
- Assemble turkey tonnato:
- Cut chilled turkey roast into 1/4-inch-thick slices, discarding strings, then top with chilled sauce. Bring turkey and sauce to room temperature, about 1 hour. Serve with lemon wedges, capers, and parsley.
TURKEY TONNATO
I freely admit that the tonnato preparation is an idea that takes some getting used to: It means that a meat, usually veal, is topped with tuna sauce-and it's usually served cold. But before you say "Ugh" and turn the page, please give it a try. It's really a wonderful combination of flavors. Instead of veal, I prefer the lighter taste of turkey paired with the relatively strong sauce, and I like this dish warm, not cold.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the turkey in a baking pan and rub the oil over the turkey. Sprinkle with the dried herbs and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pour 2 cups of the broth around the turkey and bake until it is just cooked through, about 30 minutes. Let the turkey cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the turkey to a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the turkey diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Return the turkey slices to the baking pan and coat with the pan juices.
- In the bowl of a food processor, blend the tuna, lemon juice, capers, anchovy paste, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of broth until creamy, about 1 minute. Transfer the tuna mixture to a medium bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise. Season the tuna sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the turkey slices on a platter and pour the tuna sauce over. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
TURKEY TONNATO (TURKEY WITH TUNA SAUCE)
Rather than traditional veal (vitello tonnato), this recipe makes good use of leftover thinly sliced turkey breast. The sauce, given great body and piquancy with the addition of capers and chopped anchovy fillets, is enormously simple to make with a food processor or blender. It is visually impressive, with garnishes such as thinly sliced lemon wedges, imported Mediterranean-style black olives and tourches of finely chopped parsley, was created by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The New York Times. Serve with tomato slices or a mixed green sald on the side.
