Ingredients Â
Ingredients for the yakitori marinade
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sake
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
Ingredients for the turkey skewers
- 500 g boneless and skinless turkey breasts
- 4 green onions white and green parts cut off into sections of 2.5 cm
- 4 skewers wooden or metal
Ingredients for the side vegetables
- 1 tsp vegetable oil for cooking
- 12 asparagus trimmed
- 2 zucchini yellow or green
- 12 fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 50 g enoki mushrooms optional
Ingredients for the miso dressing
- 1 tbsp miso
- 1 tbsp mirin
- ½ tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- ½ clove garlic finely minced
Instructions
-
Preparation time: 15 mins (+ 30 mins to marinade)
For the turkey yakitoris:
-
Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Reserve half to baste the turkey while it cooks.
-
Cut the turkey breast in even cubes of ¾ inch (approx. 2 cm).
-
Let the turkey cubes marinate in the refrigerator, in half on the marinade, for 30 minutes.
-
If using wooden skewers, let them soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning too quickly.
-
Preheat the BBQ at medium high heat.
-
Assemble the skewers, alternating the pieces of green onions and the turkey cubes.
-
Cook the turkey skewers on the BBQ for 4 minutes. Using a brush, baste the reserved yakitori sauce. Continue cooking, flipping the skewers a few times and basting two more times. Check for doneness after 12 minutes.
For the side vegetables:
-
Brush the vegetables with oil, except the enoki mushrooms, which are better eaten raw. Cook the vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Prepare the dressing by diluting the miso in the mirin, and the rice vinegar and the mirin. Add the sesame oil and the garlic.
For serving:
-
Place the yakitori turkey skewers on a platter. Serve with the grilled vegetables, topped with miso dressing.
