Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
- 1/3 cup
- House of Q Slow Smoke Gold BBQ Sauce or your favorite prepared mustard
- 2 lbs skinless, boneless turkey thighs cut in 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes
- 1 pound thin cut bacon
Equipment
- skewers
Directions
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the garlic, tarragon, and BBQ sauce. Shake until well mixed then add the turkey cubes. Mix well to ensure the meat is well coated, and chill for 4 to 6 hours.
- Cut the bacon in half widthwise, and arrange the slices on a clean work surface. Place a turkey cube at one end of each piece of bacon. Roll the bacon around the turkey and thread 2 or 3 pieces of wrapped turkey on each skewer for a small portion, or 5 to 6 pieces for a larger portion. Before discarding the marinade, make sure each skewer is well coated with the mustard sauce.
- Prepare your grill for direct cooking, low to medium heat. Brush or wipe the grates with oil, if necessary.
- Place the skewers on the grill, close the lid, and cook until the bacon has rendered and is crispy. Turn the skewers over a couple of times to cook them evenly and give the meat some color. The turkey is done when the meat has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C); for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. To serve, place the skewers on a platter, or plate them individually for your guests.
