Lemon Garlic Turkey Rotini (with Zucchini!)

 

I love the combination of lemon and garlic on hot days.  It’s so refreshing.  So when I came across a Lemon Garlic Fettucini recipe from Jennie-O on a record setting day last week, I decided to modify it a bit and make it for supper that very night.

This recipe uses 1/2 cup of white wine, which presents us with an interesting predicament.  What in the world should we do with the rest of the wine?  I’m sure you’ll figure something out.

3.  Add zucchini and onion to turkey and cook for 4-5 minutes.

4.  Add tomatoes and wine to turkey.  Simmer for an additional 2-3  minutes.

The Lemon Garlic marinade is really what makes this dish so great and it’s pretty versatile.   The turkey would be great on a sandwich, on a salad, or maybe with some grilled asparagus.  I’m sure this marinade will become a staple for us!
