Ingredients
  

For the paste:

  • 50 g palm sugar
  • 4 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1 stock lemongrass white part only, finely sliced
  • 50 g red curry paste
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 100 g coconut cream

For the skewers:

  • 500 g ground turkey
  • 1 large handful cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 2 limes zested
  • 7 stalks lemongrass halved lengthwise or can use barbecue skewers

Instructions
 

  • Make the paste by placing all the paste ingredients in a blender or food processor and blending until smooth.
  • To make the skewers, add the paste to the skewer ingredients (except for the lemongrass stalks) and mix very well. Divide the mixture into 80-100g portions.
  • Now, grab a stalk of lemongrass or a skewer, take one portion of your mixture, and gently form your turkey around the skewer. Your goal is to make a small sausage shape around the skewer. Repeat until all the turkey is used up. Let rest and set up in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
  • To cook, lightly cover the skewers in oil and cook over a barbecue, in a pan, or under a broiler until the internal temperature reaches 165F/74C. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately with some salad and rice.

Notes

Use regular BBQ skewers if you don't have stalks of lemongrass, but lemongrass helps to infuse extra flavour into the turkey.
