Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 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; 2 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 minutes (to prevent burning)

Servings: persons

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
2 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 minutes (to prevent burning)

1
Combine ginger, soy sauce, honey, oil, garlic, vinegar, 1/2 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender.
2
Mix 1/2 cup of this sauce with turkey, apple, and breadcrumbs; pour another 1/2 cup into a shallow pan to use as a marinade; reserve and refrigerate the rest for basting.
3
(Note: To avoid food poisoning, don't use any of the marinade the turkey is sitting in for basting.)
4
Wrap about 2 oz (or 1/4 cup) turkey mixture around each skewer (or roll mixture into a hot dog shape and spear with a skewer), so meat covers about 6 inches of each skewer.
5
Place skewers in a shallow pan with marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
6
Grill skewers outdoors or on an indoor grill pan, basting occasionally, until juices run clear when pricked with a fork.
7
Serve immediately.
