Prep: 30 min, Marinate: 4:00, Cook: 5 min.
- 1 lb. turkey tenderloins
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 Tbs. minced white onion
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. lime zest
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. Vietnamese garlic-chili paste, or to taste
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbs. soy sauce
- 8 bamboo skewers
Cut turkey tenderloins in half lengthwise. Place between 2 pieces of waxed paper and pound lightly with a meat mallet to flatten evenly. Cut lengthwise into 1 inch strips. In a large plastic bag, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, pepper flakes, ginger, and lime zest. Add turkey strips to marinade, and marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours, or overnight.
To prepare peanut sauce, chop garlic in a small food processor and add next 6 ingredients. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate up to 3-5 days.
Prepare grill for direct cooking. Soak bamboo skewers in water 15 minutes. Drain turkey and discard marinade. Weave turkey strips onto skewers. Place skewers on grill and cover grill. Cook 3 minutes. Turn and grill another 3 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink in center when cut with a knife. Serve with peanut sauce.
