For those unfamiliar with the dish, saltimbocca is an Italian dish traditionally made with veal and prosciutto. In this twist on the classic , we’re swapping in turkey for the veal and using skewers to make the dish for entertaining or a fun family dinner.
Ingredients:
– 1 lb turkey breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 8-10 slices prosciutto
– 1/2 cup flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp dried sage
– 1/2 cup white wine
– 1/4 cup broth
– 1/4 cup butter
– Juice of 1/2 lemon
– Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before using
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and sage.
3. Thread the turkey cubes onto the skewers, alternating each with a slice of prosciutto.
4. Coat the skewers in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the skewers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Remove the skewers from the skillet and set them aside. Add the white wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice to the skillet and cook until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
7. Serve the skewers with the sauce drizzled over the top.
Not only are these skewers delicious, but they’re also a great way to get creative with your cooking. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different meats and seasonings to make the dish your own. And if you’re serving a crowd, consider setting up a DIY skewer station with a variety of meats and veggies for your guests to choose from.
