(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.
