Skinny Satay Turkey Skewers
Tender and crispy turkey pieces marinaded in a skinnified version of Satay sauce to make a beautiful meal without busting out of your pants!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter adjust to your tastes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 pinches salt to season
- 1.5 lbs turkey breast fillets cubed
- 12 wooden skewers
- Coconut oil spray
- extra water if needed
- 1 handful fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
- Soak skewers for 30 minutes. Thread turkey pieces onto skewers and set aside.
- In a separate large shallow dish, combine all marinade ingredients together and whisk until combined. Add skewers and marinade for about an hour OR over night for a deeper flavour.
- When ready to cook, drain the turkey skewers, reserving the marinade. Spray a nonstick pan/skillet with the oil spray, and fry in two batches (I did 6 per batch) on medium heat until underside is browned. Turn and cook for a further 4 - 5 minutes, or until turkey has cooked through. Alternatively, bake in a pre heated oven under the grill/broil settings on medium - high heat until cooked through, turning once after about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the reserved marinade to a small pot or pan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook while stirring for 5 minutes or until the sauce is fragrant and thickens. Add extra water by the tablespoon only if sauce is too thick.
- Serve skewers with coriander leaves, steamed rice or vegetables and pour the satay sauce over.
Notes
Soaking your skewers before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
