Take a large non-sticking frying pan and pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into it. Now, heat the oil by placing the pan on the stove with medium heat range. In the meantime, place the four smoked turkey on a large cutting board and slash them crossways into narrow trips, suing a sharp knife. Add the turkey slices to the warm oil in the sauce pan and cook them for the next 5 minutes or until finely browned and crispy. Now, wear thick gloves and gently remove the saucepan from the stove. Remove you gloves and lift out the fried turkey slices with a draining spoon onto a thick kitchen paper towel. Leave them until the kitchen towel thoroughly absorbs the oil of the fried turkey slices.

Meanwhile, set the frying on the stove again and pour in some cooking oil. Wait until the oil is warm and add in the 350g of thinly sliced button mushrooms. Now, cook them for 3 to 4 minutes over a medium heat until lightly colored. Add in 2 cans of thoroughly drained and rinsed haricot or cannellini beans. Fry it for few more minutes in order to heat through the mixture, stirring occasionally. Take advantage of the available time and whisk together the 125ml of vegetable or tomato juice, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of mustard in a medium mixing bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir lightly until the salt dissolves. Pour this paste over the mushroom-bean mixture in the frying pan and bring them to boil.
