Ingredients
  

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.
