Directions
1.
For marinade, combine oil, vinegar, tarragon, sugar, salt, and garlic. Place turkey in plastic bag set into a shallow dish. Stir marinade well; add 2 tablespoons of the marinade to turkey; seal bag. Turn turkey to coat well. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours, turning turkey occasionally.
2.
For dressing, stir together reserved marinade and yogurt. Cover and chill until serving time.
3.
Remove turkey from bag, reserving marinade. Grill turkey on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 6 minutes. Turn turkey and brush with marinade; grill for 6 to 9 minutes more or until tender and cooked through. Cool slightly; slice turkey steaks.
4.
In a bowl combine romaine, mushrooms, broccoli, and onion. Toss to mix. Divide romaine mixture among 5 salad plates. Arrange turkey slices on top of romaine mixture. Serve with dressing. Makes 5 servings.

To grill by indirect heat
Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place turkey on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 15 to 18 minutes or until turkey is tender and cooked through, brushing with the marinade up to the last 5 minutes of grilling.
