TV Dinner (without the microwave)


A hot dog and cream soda combo never fails to please our taste buds (and other senses too -- see the sweet senorita created by pinup artist Harry Ekman, pictured above-- she's enjoying both fast food comforts). But if you're in the mood to make a TV Dinner-feeling meal that's juicy, crunchy, perfectly salty and healthy, then you have to try Wonder Woman's Gobble, Gobble, Not-To-Much Trouble Turkey Temptation! The pasta is what takes a bit longer to prepare but in the end, you'll find it worth the wait.
Turkey:
6 Turkey Breast Cutlets
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Garlic Salt
2 Tablespoons Lemon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Crushed Garlic
1 Tablespoon Paprika
Pasta:
Half a box of Rotini Noodles
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Bell Peppers (preferably orange), sliced
1/2 container of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce
1/2 Onion, sliced
1/2 cup Jack Cheese, shredded
Salt to Taste

Start by placing the cutlets in a bowl and mix with the olive oil, garlic salt, lemon pepper, crushed garlic and paprika. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
Prepare pasta as indicated on the box, boil until tender and drain. On a separate saucepan, pour olive oil and stir in bell peppers, onion slices and sauce.
Allow veggies to marinate in sauce and add salt.
Pour in the pasta, sprinkle cheese on top.
To garnish (and eat) slice a fresh cucumber and enjoy!
