Author Notes
It is a perfect cold dish for a summer lunch, but it is also the best way to give the leftovers of the turkey a hint of originality. The idea of this recipe comes from the one of vitel tonne', which was created in Northern Italy, most probably in Lombardia. It is s a very simple and authentic Italian dish that lends itself to many variations to accommodate any taste. —mad&delicacy
