Ingredients Â
- 1 ½ lbs turkey breasts
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- ¼ cup yellow onion chopped
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce from can of chipotles in adobo
- 1 ½ cups mango chopped, fresh or frozen
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chili sauce or ketchup
- â…› tsp salt
- skewers wooden or metal
- lime wedges optional
Instructions
-
Cut the turkey breast into large cubes. Transfer to a zip top bag, or plastic container with a lid. Place in the fridge until sauce is done.
-
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add onions. Sauté until soft and translucent.
-
Add in garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Add in mango, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, chili sauce and salt.
-
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
-
Transfer the cooled sauce to a small food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
-
Pour about 2/3 of the mango chipotle sauce into the zip top bag with the turkey cubes. Make sure all the turkey is covered in the sauce. Allow to marinate for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
-
Thread the turkey cubes onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for at least 30 minutes before proceeding.
-
Preheat the BBQ to medium heat.
-
Grill the turkey skewers for 5 minutes, then flip. Grill for another 5 minutes, then flip again.
-
Baste the skewers with the reserved sauce after 10 minutes, flipping once more and basting again.
-
Grill until the turkey reaches 165°F, about 12-15 minutes.
-
Remove from the grill and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
-
Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
Tips & Tricks
