Ingredients  

For the Turkey Breast Skewers

  • 500 g boneless and skinless turkey breasts
  • 1 tbsp miso
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp strong mustard such as Dijon
  • 1 tbsp honey

For the edible soil

  • 4 slices pumpernickel bread
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp dried mushrooms forest mix
  • 1 tbsp dried cranberries
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp dark beer or 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

For the vegetable garden:

  • 4 carrots with leaves
  • 12 radishes with leaves
  • 2 cups kale
  • 2 tbsp pesto
  • 4 green onions

Instructions

  • Marinade time: 1 hour

For the turkey skewers:

  • Cut the turkey breast into even 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
  • Dilute the miso with the cider vinegar. Add mustard and honey. Thoroughly mix the ingredients for the marinade.
  • Add the turkey cubes and coat well in the marinade. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • While the turkey marinates, prepare the other elements of the garden (edible soil and vegetables).
  • Once ready to serve, preheat the BBQ to medium high heat.
  • Cook the turkey skewers on the BBQ grid for 3 minutes. Continue cooking, flipping them a few times while cooking. Check doneness after 10 minutes. The internal temperature must have reached 165°

For the edible soil:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°
  • Toast pumpernickel bread slices one time in a toaster. Roughly crumble the bread and distribute on a cooking sheet. Add the sunflower or pumpkin seeds and the dried mushrooms. Cook for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture in the bread. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • In a food processor or a small blender, crumble the bread, mushrooms, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries.
  • Add the melted butter to the beer. Moisten the bread mix to give it the look of a slightly humid soil. Reserve until final presentation.

For the vegetable garden:

  • Gently clean the vegetables to remove any soil. Reserve a section of the stems of the carrots and the radishes for presentation.
  • Cut carrots if they are too long to fit in a flower pot.
  • Cut the stems of the kale to keep the curly part. Mix the kale leaves with the pesto.
  • In a flower pot, put the pesto coated kale. Plant carrots and green onions, add edible soil on top, then add the radishes.
  • On the bottom of a serving plate, put a layer of edible soil. Arrange the vegetables like in a garden. Add the kale salad and add the turkey skewers on top.
