Turkey-Beef Kabobs with Golden Apricot Sauce Recipe

Turkey-Beef Kabobs with Golden Apricot Sauce Recipe

  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground lean turkey
  • 1/2 pound ground lean beef
  • 6 tablespoons fine dried bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1 Safeway SELECT Organic Large Egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  1. To make sauce, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, apricots, and sugar. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until vinegar is boiling, about 3 minutes.
  2. Pour mixture into a blender or food processor and whirl until smooth. Scrape into a small bowl; set aside.
  3. To make kabobs, in a bowl, mix turkey, beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg yolk, salt, and pepper.
  4. Divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Pat each portion around a metal skewer (flat ones are easiest to handle) to form a log 1 inch thick and 7 to 8 inches long.
  5. Lay skewers on a lightly oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Rotating skewers to brown meat evenly, cook until kabobs are no longer pink in center (cut to test), 7 to 10 minutes.
  6. About 1 minute before meat is done, brush lightly with some of the apricot sauce.
  7. To serve, place kabobs on individual plates and offer additional apricot sauce to add to taste.
