This elegant Turkey Tonnato is a sophisticated twist on the classic Italian vitello tonnato. By using lean turkey breast instead of veal, this diabetes-friendly dish offers a high-protein, low-carbohydrate alternative that does not compromise on luxury. The turkey is butterflied and stuffed with a fragrant black-olive tapenade, rosemary and lemon zest, before being roasted to succulent perfection. It is then finished with a velvet-smooth tuna and anchovy sauce, which provides a wonderfully salty, savoury contrast to the mild poultry.
Ideal for a light summer lunch or a festive cold buffet, this homemade celebratory main is best prepared in advance, allowing the flavours to develop and the meat to chill for easy carving. Serve the sliced turkey at room temperature, garnished with plenty of sharp capers and fresh flat-leaf parsley to brighten the palate. It is a heart-healthy, stylish choice for those seeking a nutritious yet impressive meal to share with friends and family.

How to make Turkey Tonnato
Tillbaka till innehållPut oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 177°C.
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 teaspoons 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 teaspoons pepper.
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 71°C, 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.
Purée tuna (including oil), 120ml olive oil, water, lemon juice, anchovy paste, and 60ml 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.
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.
