Turkey Skewers in a Crispy Herb Crust Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley), chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 skewers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll mixture into 12 evenly-sized balls.
4. Thread each ball onto a skewer and flatten into a disc shape around the skewer so it holds its shape.
5. In a shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs and additional herbs.
6. Dip each turkey skewer into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to coat all sides.
7. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey skewers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and the crust is crisp.
9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
