Curried Turkey Skewers with Cucumber Raita
Ingredients
TURKEY SKEWERS
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless turkey breast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 3 large bell peppers, cut into thirty-six 2-inch pieces
- 1 large pineapple--peeled, cored and cut into thirty-six 2-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
RAITA
- 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 cups peeled, seeded and finely diced cucumbers
- 2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
- MAKE THE TURKEY SKEWERS: In a large bowl, mix the yogurt with the cucumber, curry powder and garlic. Add the turkey and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- MAKE THE RAITA: In a large bowl, mix the yogurt with the cucumbers, curry powder and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the raita until chilled and the flavors are blended, 2 to 3 hours.
- Light a grill. On each of twelve 8-inch bamboo skewers, thread 3 pieces each of turkey, bell pepper and pineapple. Season the skewers with salt and pepper and grill over a moderately hot fire until the turkey is just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve 2 skewers per person and pass the raita at the table.
