Homemade Peanut Butter (Two Ways)
Let’s grill!
- 1 Pound Boneless Turkey (Breast or dark meat)
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Basil
- ½ Teaspoon Zest Lemon seasoning
- ½ Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
- ¼ Cup Oil (your choice)
- 6-8 Skewers
- Salt and pepper
-
Soak the skewer with water to avoid burning if you’re using wooden skewers but skip this step if you’re using metal skewers.
-
Clean the turkey, I used the dark meat, you can use the white part too; turkey breast. Because I have little kids, I cut the turkey into small bites for easy bites, but you can cut the turkey into strips if you desire.
-
Mix all the seasoning add the turkey and marinade for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
-
Remove and bring to room temperature.
Thread the turkey into the skewer and set aside.
-
Heat the grill to high heat, I used an electric grill. Grease the grill with oil and place the threaded skewer and cook on both sides for about 2-3 minutes depending on the turkey. When you flip to cook the other side drizzle the marinade over the turkey and continue cooking.
-
You can also use your oven for this process, just preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil.
-
Serve with peanut butter sauce
-
I sprinkled a pinch of red pepper flake for some heat and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
