Grilled Turkey and Pear Kebabs

Do you have two pears? No, not as in playing cards, but for the main ingredient to share the skewers with the turkey breast!

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 25 min

Ingredients

• 4 (12-inch) wooden or metal skewers
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/3 cup light rum
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 medium-sized red bell peppers, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
• 2 fresh pears, cored and cut into 8 wedges each
• 1 pound boneless, skinless turkey breast cutlets, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat the broiler.
    
2. In a small bowl, combine apple juice, rum, honey and cinnamon; mix until thoroughly combined. Place 3/4 cup of the mixture in a small saucepan and reserve the remaining mixture for basting the kebabs.
    
3. On each skewer, thread alternating pieces of pepper, pear, and turkey, starting and ending with a piece of pepper.
    
4. Broil kebabs 20 to 25 minutes, or until no pink remains in turkey, basting every 5 minutes with the reserved honey mixture.
    
5. Meanwhile, dissolve cornstarch in the 3/4 cup honey mixture and heat over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until thick and glossy. Remove from heat. Drizzle heated honey sauce over kebabs.
