Turkey shashlik
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. By the end of summer, regular kebabs become boring for many people, and no one really craves pork marinated with onion or mayonnaise anymore. In such a case, I suggest trying these turkey kebabs with a very aromatic and spicy marinade. This kebab is much tastier than the usual kind. Moreover, you can prepare it either outdoors or at home, using a grill pan or an oven. Serve the finished dish at the table.

To prepare turkey kebab, take turkey fillet. Cut it into large pieces. Each piece should be slightly larger than a matchbox.

Step 4
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling. Thread the meat pieces onto the skewers and place the kebabs on a well-heated grill pan. Sear the kebabs over high heat initially, then reduce the heat to medium to ensure the meat cooks through without burning. If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a regular frying pan or bake the kebabs in the oven on a rack. In the latter case, place a baking sheet under the rack to catch dripping meat juices and prevent mess in the oven.

Step 5
Sear the kebabs on all sides until browned. Place them on a serving dish. If no pink meat juice is released from the kebab, it means they are properly cooked.
