Thai turkey skewers: tender turkey bites in a creamy sauce. The smart version of satay skewers is calorie-reduced—yet full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 500 g turkey cutlets (4 turkey cutlets)
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark sesame oil
  • 4 onions
  • 125 ml classic vegetable broth
  • 100 g Peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Salt
  • chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Rinse the turkey cutlets, pat dry and slice each lengthwise into 5 strips.

  2. 2.

    Thread each strip in a wave pattern onto a wooden skewer. Place the skewers in a large shallow baking dish.

  3. 3.

    Halve the lime and squeeze out juice. Pour 2 tbsp of juice into a bowl. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press into the lime juice.

  4. 4.

    Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Brush the turkey skewers with this mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  5. 5.

    Meanwhile, peel and dice the onions. Add onion cubes and broth to a small pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions almost break down.

  6. 6.

    Stir peanut butter and sugar into the onion mixture. Season with salt, chili flakes, and 1–2 tbsp lime juice. If desired, thin with a little vegetable broth and let cool.

  7. 7.

    Drain the turkey skewers slightly, place them in a large aluminum tray, and grill over high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning several times and brushing with more marinate. Serve with the peanut sauce.
