Instructions:
Instructions: Place turkey in a heavy plastic bag set in a large mixing bowl. For marinade, in a small bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, orange peel, orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper; pour over turkey in bag.

Close bag and turn turkey to coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove turkey from bag, reserving marinade. Grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or till no pink remains, brushing with marinade during the first 6 minutes and turning once. Serve with Sweet-Pepper-Citrus Salsa. If desired, garnish with lettuce and basil.

Makes 6 servings.

Makes about 1
1/2 cups salsa.

Note: Accent the marinade"s fruity nature with a lively salsa tossed together at your leisure, then chilled till dinnertime. Pre-cut, turkey breast tenderloin steaks are available in some areas. If you find only the large whole tenderloins, slice them horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick steaks.
