Skillet Turkey Skewers
Make an appetizing dish right in your own kitchen. Turkey skewers cooked on the stovetop are a great option for anyone who loves kebabs but can't get outdoors to grill. They're as simple and quick as can be, and they taste fantastic! Serve them with fresh or roasted vegetables, salads, or new potatoes—really, any side works. A sauce that pairs well with meat is a nice addition too.

- Prep the turkey. Use fillet for these skewers. Rinse the turkey under running water, blot it dry with paper towels, and lay it on a cutting board. Cut the fillet into large pieces, about 3/4 inch on a side, then transfer to a large bowl. 2. Peel the garlic and mince it however you like—grate it, chop it finely, or press it—then add it to the turkey. 3. Sprinkle the meat with dried oregano, which pairs beautifully with fried or roasted poultry, and drizzle with half the olive oil. Wash the lemon thoroughly (scrubbing with the rough side of a sponge under warm water helps remove any wax coating), pat it dry, cut it in half, then each half in half again, and squeeze the juice from each quarter over the meat. Mix everything well with your hands, then cover with plastic wrap or a tight lid and chill for half an hour. 4. When the marinating time is up, take out the meat and get 8 skewers ready. Divide the meat among them to make 8 even skewers, setting the marinade aside for now. 5. Set a large skillet (nonstick is ideal) over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil, and heat it well. Add the skewers, pour the reserved marinade over everything, sprinkle with a little cayenne, and pour in the water. Keeping the heat at medium, cook the skewers for 15 minutes, turning them now and then so the meat browns evenly—just like grilling outdoors! They'll gradually turn golden and appetizing, with a wonderful aroma. 6. Serve the skewers hot. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
