Carpaccio is a dish that originated in Italy, traditionally made from thinly sliced raw meat or fish, drizzled with a tangy dressing. While the classic version often features beef or fish, this innovative take swaps in succulent turkey, offering a lighter and equally delightful option. The pairing of turkey carpaccio with crispy sweet potato wedges creates a unique balance of flavors and textures, making it perfect for both casual meals and elegant gatherings.

Ingredients
  

  • 0.454 kg fresh turkey breast
  • 0.03 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.03 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 0.015 cup Dijon mustard
  • 0.015 cup capers
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup fresh arugula
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 0.03 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.25 cup fresh herbs

Instructions
 

  • Remove the turkey breast from the freezer and slice it thinly using a sharp knife or a meat slicer. Aim for paper-thin slices for the best texture.
  • Arrange the turkey slices on a large plate or platter, slightly overlapping them.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped capers. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle the dressing evenly over the arranged turkey slices. Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese on top and add a touch of lemon zest for an aromatic finish.
  • Preheat your oven to 425.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Toss them well until all wedges are evenly coated.
  • Spread the sweet potato wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are done, drizzle a touch more olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve the turkey carpaccio chilled, garnished with arugula, and alongside the crispy sweet potato wedges.

Notes

For best results, slice turkey as thin as possible and serve immediately.
