It's no secret that turkey meat is not only tasty, but also very healthy. It is moderately oily, so it is easily digested. And turkey is rich in vitamins and minerals valuable to the body. But you can cook from it not only dietary and children's dishes. It is easily marinated, baked faster than lamb and pork, and the taste is delicate, but at the same time bright and rich. Therefore, it is quite possible to cook kebab from turkey. The recipes for this dish are quite varied, but they can be complemented to your own liking.
Kebab meat
The turkey kebab recipe is primarily for fillets. But it is quite suitable for baking and meat with hips. Like chicken, it is fatter than breast, but many like it.
How not to do
Turkey meat does not need saturated acid marinades at all. Vinegar, lemon juice, dry wine will not be useful to us. All kinds of remedies like beer, tomato paste and mayonnaise, too. Beer will quickly pickle meat due to its carbon dioxide content, but will negatively affect the taste. Mayonnaise and tomato paste do not apply to marinades at all, they only lubricate the surface of the meat. Unfortunately, you can find more than one kebab recipe from turkey or another bird, which contains these products, but it is better to replace them with other ingredients.
How to make a marinade
We will need onions, highly carbonated mineral water, salt and spicy spices. You can add homemade tomato or dairy products: fermented baked milk, kefir, yogurt. Soda makes meat tender, leaves all the juices, tastes and vitamins inside, and also serves as a kind of "conductor", helping seasonings to penetrate inside. Sour-milk products are often included in the kebab recipe from turkey or chicken, as they combine perfectly with poultry meat, giving it an unusual sour taste.
Stage One - Preparation
Too small pieces should not be done - they will easily overcook, burn out or dry out. Too large may not fry enough. Cut the meat into medium pieces the size of a goose egg. We cut onions in thick rings or slices, like an orange. By the way, putting slices on skewers is much more convenient. Another turkey kebab recipe can be supplemented with other vegetables: eggplant, bell pepper, tomatoes. We put the meat and onions in the dishes, interbedding and pouring each layer with salt and seasonings. Top with mineral water. Such a marinade will quickly prepare the meat - in 2-3 hours.
Stage Two - Cooking
First, make a bonfire: gather firewood, melt it, let it burn to the coals. A little trick: you can pour a couple of handfuls of salt into the coals, then the temperature will last longer. Before laying the skewers or grill near the bonfire, put a container of water for irrigation. In it, you can pour the remains of the marinade, add spicy seasonings, even drop vinegar. The kebab is prepared from turkey fillet very quickly. A sign of almost complete readiness is juice dripping from pieces. Therefore, as soon as it starts to flow out, there is a chance of overdrying. Do not keep the barbecue on fire for too long.
Innings
Barbecue can be eaten both from skewers and from a plate. Any sauces are perfectly combined with turkey - both the sharpest and the sweetest. You can also serve fresh vegetables and greens, pita bread or homemade bread, baked potatoes - all that is usually taken for a picnic.
