Bacon, carpaccio, smoked, roast: the charcuterie classics made with halal turkey

For those who eat halal, many charcuterie classics seem out of reach, because they are traditionally made from pork. Turkey brings them back within reach: its delicate meat lends itself to smoking, roasting and spice crusts alike. Here is an overview of four great classics, made with turkey and AVS halal certified.

Turkey bacon

What sets it apart: a golden crust and thin slices, which turn golden in the pan and bring character to everything they accompany.

How to serve it: at brunch with eggs, in a burger, in a croque-monsieur or a club sandwich, sliced over a salad or pasta.

To try: our scrambled eggs with turkey bacon and our turkey bacon burger.

Turkey carpaccio

What sets it apart: a whole fillet coated in a generously peppered crust, to be sliced very thinly. The pepper lifts the meat without masking it.

How to serve it: as a carpaccio with olive oil, lemon and rocket; rolled up as an appetiser; on a sharing platter.

To try: our turkey carpaccio with rocket and lemon.

Smoked turkey fillet

What sets it apart: smoked over beech and alder wood, which gives tender meat and a delicate smoky flavour. An everyday charcuterie that makes a difference from the very first slice.

How to serve it: in a sandwich with crudités, sliced into a salad, in a wrap, or on a platter alongside the carpaccio and the roast fillet.

Roast turkey fillet

What sets it apart: the look of a Sunday roast, with a golden crust and tender meat that slices cleanly.

How to serve it: cold, sliced, with a salad; in a sandwich; or warm, with roasted vegetables.

To try: our warm salad with roast turkey fillet.
