Ingredients

  • 2-pound boneless, skinless turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounces canned white-meat tuna packed in olive oil, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1 drained anchovy fillet
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
