Jada Pinkett-Smith gets a lean, muscle-building protein kick from these marinated turkey skewers, which she recently served at a luau and which come from her personal chef, Bernie Guzman. Ingredients:
2 tbsp shredded ginger |
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari |
1/2 cup honey |
1 tbsp dark sesame oil |
2 tbsp minced garlic |
1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar |
2 ground turkey |
1 red delicious apple, with peel, shredded with a cheese grater |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
18 bamboo skewers, 12 inches long, soaked in water at least 30 minutes (to prevent burning) |
Directions:
1. 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.
