Lemon-Pepper Turkey Pasta

Ingredients
1-1/2 lbs. turkey cutlets or slices, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. lemon pepper
1 lb. linguine
2 tbsp. olive oil
6 scallions, sliced
1 lemon, cut into 10 thin slices and finely slivered
1 garlic clove, minced
One 10 oz. bag fresh spinach, washed, drained and chopped

Makes 4 to 6 servings
Directions
Step 1
In self-closing plastic bag, combine turkey, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch and lemon pepper; shake bag to coat turkey thoroughly. Refrigerate 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Step 2
Cook the pasta. In a large non-stick skillet, cook the turkey and marinade with the oil 2 to 3 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink in center. Add scallions, lemon slivers and garlic. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted.

Step 3
To serve, combine the turkey mixture with hot linguine and garnish with parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
