Ingredients
- turkey breast - watch the video to see (thinly sliced)
- suya spice - watch the video to see (local spice blend made with peanut powder, hot pepper, and local herbs)
- olive oil - watch the video to see (to help spice adhere to meat)
- seasoning powder - watch the video to see (to enhance flavor)
- minced onions - watch the video to see (for aroma)
Instructions
- Prepare the meat: Slice turkey breast into very thin layers.
- Mix marinade: In a bowl, combine suya spice, olive oil, seasoning powder, and minced onions.
- Marinate meat: Add the sliced turkey breast to the spice mixture and rub thoroughly to coat the meat evenly.
- Skewer the meat: Apply oil to skewers to prevent sticking. Thread the marinated turkey slices onto the skewers gradually.
- Add finishing spice: Sprinkle additional suya spice on top of the skewered meat for a crispy finish.
- Marinate: Allow the skewered meat to marinate for about 1 hour.
- Cook: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the skewers for 35 minutes until the outside is crispy and the inside is tender.
