Instructions

To marinate the turkey skewers:

  • Cut the turkey breast and the red onion into about 1 ½ inch (4 cm) cubes.
  • Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Add the turkey and onion cubes, and coat well with marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

For the herb and coriander sauce:

  • Put all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavours of the sauce to mix well.

For cooking:

  • Preheat the BBQ to medium heat.  Lightly oil the grill.
  • Drain the turkey and discard the marinade.
  • Thread the turkey and onion cubes alternatively onto the skewers.
  • Grill the turkey skewers for about 8 minutes on each side, flipping them once. The turkey skewers will be ready when the turkey is no longer pink and the internal temperature, taken with a meat thermometer inserted in one of the turkey cubes, reaches 165°F (74°C).

Tips & Tricks

Serve the turkey skewers with the herb and coriander sauce and grilled vegetables, a salad or rice.
