- 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
- 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.
- Pour mixture into a blender or food processor and whirl until smooth. Scrape into a small bowl; set aside.
- To make kabobs, in a bowl, mix turkey, beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg yolk, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- About 1 minute before meat is done, brush lightly with some of the apricot sauce.
- To serve, place kabobs on individual plates and offer additional apricot sauce to add to taste.
