Makes about 18
2 tbsp shredded ginger
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp dark sesame oil
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar
2lb ground turkey
1 red delicious apple, with peel, shredded with a cheese grater
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
18 bamboo skewers, 12 inches long,soaked in water at least 30 min.(to prevent burning)
Combine ginger, soy sauce, honey, oil,garlic, vinegar, 1/2 tbsp water and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Mix 1/2 cup of this sauce with trukey, apple and breadcrumbs; pour another 1.2 cup into a shallow pan to use as a marinade; reserve and refrigerate the rest for basting.(Note: To avoid food poisoning,don't use any of the marinade the turkey is sitting in for basting.) Wrap about 2 ounces (or 1/4cup) turkey mixture around each skewer (or roll MIxture into a hotdog shape and spear with a skewer), so meat covers about 6inches of each skewer, Place skewers in a shallow pan with marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably over-night. Grill skewers outdoors or on an indoor grill pan, basting occasionally,until juices run clear when pricked with a fork. Serve immediately.
