Teriyaki Ground Turkey Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ginger, soy sauce, honey, oil, garlic, vinegar, 1/2 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Mix 1/2 cup of this sauce with turkey, apple, and breadcrumbs; pour another 1/2 cup into a shallow pan to use as a marinade; reserve and refrigerate the rest for basting. (Note: To avoid food poisoning, don't use any of the marinade the turkey is sitting in for basting.) Wrap about 2 oz (or 1/4 cup) turkey mixture around each skewer (or roll mixture into a hot dog shape and spear with a skewer), so meat covers about 6 inches of each skewer. Place skewers in a shallow pan with marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Grill skewers outdoors or on an indoor grill pan, basting occasionally, until juices run clear when pricked with a fork. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Soak 8 bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 10 to 30 minutes before you begin the recipe.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush the pitas with oil, place on a sheet pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes per side, then wrap in foil to keep warm.
• In a small serving bowl, stir together the yogurt, juice of 1/2 lime, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Scoop out 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture and place in a large mixing bowl. Place the remaining yogurt in the refrigerator.
• Gently combine the turkey, remaining cumin, turmeric, grated onion and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in the bowl with the yogurt until most of it has a mustard-orange hue. Divide the meat into 8 similar-sized loose balls. Lightly wet your hands so the meat doesn't stick, then shape the meat around the skewers by placing the meat in one hand, pressing the skewer in the center, then using the fingertips and thumb of the bottom hand to shape the meat by lightly pressing it to create an oblong shape.
• Place the skewers in the center of a sheet pan and sprinkle the sliced onion on the outskirts. Use your hands to rub the onions and the outside of the skewers with oil, then season the onions with salt. Place the remaining 1/2 lime on the pan cut-side up, and roast until the outside of the meat is a darker mustard color and no longer pink inside, 11 to 14 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime juice on top of the turkey and slide the meat off the skewers. Place the pitas on a serving plate, spoon some of the reserved yogurt on them, then place the turkey and onion slices on top. Sprinkle all over with the sumac, if using, and serve with mint, cucumbers and the remaining yogurt.

Steps:

• Soak skewers in water 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil or cooking parchment paper; lightly spray foil or paper with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except chutney. Shape 1 rounded tablespoon of the turkey mixture around top third of each skewer.
• Place skewers in pan with turkey in center of pan and skewers to outside of pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink in center. Just before serving, brush 1/4 cup of the warmed chutney on turkey. Serve remaining chutney as dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix first eight ingredients; toss with beef. Refrigerate, covered, 2-3 hours., Thread beef strips, weaving back and forth, onto six metal or soaked wooden skewers; discard marinade. Grill beef, uncovered, over medium heat until desired doneness, 6-9 minutes, turning occasionally.
