Our dinner tonight was just scrumptious. Love satay sauce and with the pickled carrot and apple salad was just delightful. I used turkey breast fillets and will certainly make this recipe again and again. The problem is that you cannot stop eating it.. 😊🤪🤤💛Marinating the meat before cooking is the secret to these delicious turkey satay skewers. You can use pork, veal, chicken, lean rump steak or lamb leg steak if you prefer and it would work equally well.
