method
1. Put the turkey fillets in a heavy flameproof casserole or saucepan. Pour over 750 ml (1 1/4 pints) cold water and the wine or cider, if using. Add the carrot, celery, onion, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring slowly to the boil.
2. Lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the turkey is just tender when pierced with a skewer.
3. Remove from the heat and leave the turkey to cool in the poaching liquid. Transfer the turkey to a board, reserving the poaching liquid, and cut into neat, thin slices. Arrange on a serving platter, cover and set aside.
4. Boil the poaching liquid rapidly until reduced to about 60 ml (4 tbsp). Strain and leave to cool.
5. Sieve the tuna into a bowl, pressing the fish through the sieve with the back of a spoon. Stir in the poaching liquid, mayonnaise, lemon juice and seasoning and mix well until smooth. Spoon the dressing over the turkey, ensuring the meat is covered.
6. Drain and rinse the anchovies, pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper, then cut each one in half lengthways. Arrange the anchovies over the turkey in a lattice pattern, then place the capers in the 'windows' of the lattice.
7. Cover and chill for 24 - 48 hours. Remove from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.
