Grilled Caribbean Skewers Ingredients 1/2 cup brandy 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 turkey breast, boned, skinned and cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes (3 pounds), or 2 pounds trimmed boneless beef (sirloin, top round, or chuck) or boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes Lemon wedges (optional) Fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Directions 1. For the marinade, in a glass measure combine brandy, olive oil, brown sugar, lime juice, mint, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a heavy-duty resealable plastic storage bag. Add the turkey, seal the bag, and press the bag to coat the meat in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

2. Heat grill. On 8 skewers, thread 4 to 5 pieces of turkey or meat. Grill kebabs over medium-hot heat, 12 to 16 minutes for turkey, or until cooked through; or 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare beef or lamb (145 degree F). If desired, garnish with lemon wedges and mint sprigs. Makes 8 servings.

Note: To test for medium-hot heat, you should be able to hold your hand over the coals at the height of the food for 3 seconds before you have to pull it away.

Make-Ahead Tip: Marinate turkey, beef, or lamb, covered. Refrigerate up to 24 hours.
