Marinated Turkey Pasta

1lb. organic pastured turkey breast (cut into 4 steaks)

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

1 pkg Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix

1 cup mayonnaise or yogurt

1/2 cup milk

1/2 lb. small noodles (cooked, drained, and cooled)

2 cups blanched vegetables (diced or julienned)

4 lettuce leaves

2 oranges

Marinate Turkey steaks in the salad dressing 1-24 hours. Grill or broil 5 minutes on each side, until just cooked. Let cool and shred. Mix the mayonnaise, Good Seasons salad dressing mix, and milk together in a food processor or with a wisk. The dressing will be thin. Toss the cooled pasta, shredded turkey, veggies, and the dressing together. Place a leaf of lettuce on each of 4 plates. Divide the salad among the plates and garish with orange slices. Salad may be made 1 day ahead.

Cooking Tip: Thaw the 1# turkey breast in the refrigerator for 24 hrs. Though the meat will still be slightly frozen, remove the skin and slice into 4 equal steaks. Unseasoned frozen vegetable blends may be used.
