TURKEY MUNE YAKITORI
1 lb boneless skinless turkey breast, cut into 1” cubes
2 bunches scallions, cleaned and cut into 1” pieces (optional)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
8-10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least an hour
1/4 c canola oil (or other high smoking point oil) for grilling
SAUCE
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
1/4 c water
1/2 c soy sauce
2 cloves of roasted garlic, smashed
Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until thick and sticky, about 7 minutes. Let cool.
Reserve 4 tablespoons of sauce for serving with the finished skewers.
In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, add the turkey and cover with the cooled sauce. Let marinate in the fridge for one hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and set aside a baking sheet.
Thread the marinated turkey pieces onto the skewers and place them on a tray until they are all completed. If using scallions, alternate pieces of scallions between each piece of turkey.
Oil the grates of the grill with a brush and grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with reserved sauce.
