Serves 4 peopleCategories: Poultry- Turkey
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked or canned, no-salt added chickpeas
- 1 (5-oz.) can good-quality tuna, preferably packed in oil
- 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 4 or 5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as tarragon, oregano, chives and dill
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1 lb. thinly sliced roasted turkey breast (no skin)
Directions
-
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then transfer them to a food processor. Add the tuna (with its oil) and the yogurt; puree until smooth.
-
With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the oil (to taste); the mixture will become noticeably smoother; this is the tonnato dressing. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup with spout.
-
Coarsely chop the herbs and capers (separately).
-
Arrange the turkey slices on a platter. You can either stir the herbs and capers into the tonnato, or pour the sauce over the turkey, then sprinkle the herbs and capers on top. Serve immediately.
