Turkey Tonnato with Potatoes and Green BeansRomulo Yanes

Cooks' notes:

• Turkey may be cooked 1 day ahead. Cool in broth, uncovered, 1 hour, then chill in broth, covered. (Cooling in broth helps keep turkey tender and moist.) • If you have a pasta pot with a shallow steamer-basket insert, you can cook turkey in pot, then, after removing it, simmer potatoes in broth while steaming beans in insert. • Tonnato sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
