Cider Glazed Turkey Kebabs

Cider flavors turkey kebabs Washington Post

Here are a few reasons to cook kebabs: Small chunks of lean meat can be marinated with a variety of seasonings. Skewers can be customized for individual portions, and grilled or broiled in the oven. They cook in minutes. Best of all, they are a crowd-pleaser.

This recipe uses turkey breast, marinated in a quickly assembled mixture of spices and herbs. The glaze is a finishing touch that lends a hint of sweetness and gives the kebabs a lovely mahogany finish.

You’ll need to soak 6 medium-length bamboo skewers for 30 minutes.

MAKE AHEAD: The kebabs need to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.

Apple Cider Glazed Turkey Kebabs 3 to 6 servings (Makes 6 kebabs) For the kebabs: 1 tablespoon mild olive oil 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon crushed mixed dried herbs, such as a combination of oregano, parsley, chives, thyme and/or fines herbes 1¼ pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast or turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1-inch cubes For the glaze: 1½ cups unsweetened, fresh apple cider 1/2 cup homemade or no-saltadded chicken broth 2 teaspoons light brown sugar Kosher salt For the kebabs: Whisk together oil, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, nutmeg, ginger and herbs in medium bowl. Add turkey pieces and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap; marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

For the glaze: Combine apple cider, broth, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a small skillet or saute pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a steady boil, until liquid has reduced to consistency of light syrup. Watch closely to avoid over-reducing. Remove from heat.

Prepare grill for direct heat.

If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high (450 F). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal; when the coals are ready, distribute them evenly over the cooking area. Grease the grill grate with cooking oil spray and place it on the grill.

Thread turkey onto soaked skewers. If desired, place two pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on the grill to keep the ends of the skewers from burning.

Transfer to grill; close lid and cook for about 4 minutes, until the kebabs have grill marks.

Use tongs to turn over skewers.

Brush cooked side of kebabs with half of the glaze. Close grill lid and cook for 4 minutes. Uncover and turn skewers again, brushing second side of kebabs with remaining glaze. Move kebabs to a cool section of the grill if browning too fast. Close lid and cook for 2 minutes. Turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 165 F. Let kebabs rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Transfer remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of pan.

Bake until light gold brown, about 12 minutes.

While crust bakes, grate 1 teaspoon orange peel and squeeze 1/3 cup orange juice.

In medium bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, vanilla, orange peel and juice together until well combined. Sprinkle cranberries evenly over hot crust. Pour orange mixture over berries.

With spatula, spread gently to evenly distribute cranberries and orange over crust. Bake 7 minutes.

Remove pan from oven.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has been delaying a decision for months about whether to punish the Apache ASL Trails housing complex in Tempe, Ariz., for the sin of renting 85 percent of its units to the hearing-impaired — for whom the facility was actually designed (equipped with comfort and safety features to serve the deaf).

However, HUD has threatened to withhold federal funding because Apache is suspected of illegally discriminating against the non-hearing-impaired (who under guidelines should, HUD believes, occupy three-fourths of Apache’s units). State officials and Arizona’s congressional delegation have voiced pride in Apache’s mission, but the HUD secretary’s indecisiveness has left Apache tenants in limbo, according to a September Arizona Republic report.

From page 3 duo from Michigan, and to bid on two spectacular auction items — a trip for two to Nashville’s Country Music Awards and tickets for two to any regular season professional game, any sport.

EPI is a private, non-profit, charitable organization that supports individuals with disabilities and families with child care needs.

“Our theme was chosen to remind others to always look past the disability to see the person within,” said event co-chair and EPI communications and development director Katie Slade. Her committee created a unique and comfortable setting by placing the dueling pianos in the middle of the ballroom, lining the stage perimeter with overstuffed chairs and adding high-top tables.

EPI director Chris Sparks noted it was the organization’s first foray into planning a fundraising gala.

“Of course we hope to raise a few dollars for our employment program and children’s services but more importantly we want to raise awareness,” said Sparks.

Individuals served by EPI live and work in our community and earn wages in various work settings, which in turn helps to provide local businesses a stable, quality work force.

Family blogs about debt reduction effort St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — Michelle and Jeff McDowell and their three young children live in Wildwood, Mo. He’s an IT engineer.

She’s a stay-at-home mom.

Until a couple of years ago, they’d been living a little over their head.

They had run up $22,000 in credit card debt, not thinking much of it.

After all, making the payments was no problem. “We thought credit card debt was normal,” he said.

T h e n t ro u b l e h i t .

Their third child was born, and with the baby came a $10,000 medical bill. Michelle had been working. But given the cost of day care for three children, the job no longer made sense.

Q. What’s the best way to

walk both of my dogs at the same time without me getting tangled in leashes?

A. You could teach one

dog to always walk on your right side, and the other to always walk on your left.

To get this started, plan on taking some time to train each dog separately to walk on the desired side. Enlist the help of a trainer who can help you achieve your goals in a positive and gentle manner. Within a few weeks you should be able to walk them together again.

Another option is to attach a coupler, a 6- to 12-inch leash that has clips at each end. You clip the ends to your dogs’ collars, and then they walk in tandem while you hold only one leash. You can teach the dogs to walk out in front of you, or both walk on the same side of you.

Again, this will require a bit of training.

have unrealistic expectations about how their dogs should treat their toys. While there are some dogs out there who gently mouth toys, most dogs enjoy shredding them when they can. The solution is to reframe how you think about the ways your dog gleans enjoyment from toys.

Since your dog clearly loves to shred those soft toys, plan on purchasing those with the mindset that they won’t last very long.

You may pick some up at a dollar store or a yard sale.

Watching your dog destroy a toy hurts less when you haven’t paid much for it — and you should learn to enjoy the glee with which your dog goes after those toys — it may make for a great YouTube video.

One point of concern is that your dog not swallow a great quantity of the soft toy’s innards. Eating the plastic squeaker or the stuffing could pose a significant health threat, so when you give your dog access to these toys, make sure you are around to pick up and dispose of the stuffing as it comes flying out. This is what I do with my own dogs; the hilarity ensues when I give my Dachshund a plushy toy. I sit on the floor, collect the stuffing as it is removed, and when it’s all out, I can relax while my dog continues to toss around the remaining fabric shell.

On the flip side, spend a few more dollars and invest in some super resilient toys that are meant to be chewed on. They’re out there, although you have to really search to find them. Look for products with moneyback guarantees if your dog is able to destroy it; heavy, rubber-type toys are often a good bet. Better still are ones with a port so you can add a swipe of peanut butter or cream cheese to make it a bit more interesting.

These toys would be a safer choice to leave for your dog to enjoy when you are gone.

Family blogs about debt reduction effort From page 5 “The biggest panic was the realization that, if we d i d n ’t c h a n ge , we wouldn’t be able to pay fo r t h e k i d s ’ c o l l e ge .

We’d be eating dog food in retirement,” Jeff said.

So, the family came up with a financial austerity plan.

Then, they did somet h i n g rea l ly u n u s u a l .

They let the world in on it. They launched seedebtrun.com, a blog to

www.wcfcourier.com i n wh i c h p e o p l e wh o aren’t financial experts share stories and tips for dealing with money.

They are generally a good thing, because they motivate readers to improve their finances, said Rob Weagley, who chairs the department of personal financial planning at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

“I think these bloggers can sometimes get people excited, turn the switch on and get them to actually do something.”

That said, he notes that not all the advice is good.

The kind of blog that

chronicle their climb out of debt and share tips on saving and frugal spending.

“It was really about the accountability thing. We didn’t know if anybody would read it,” Jeff said.

The McDowells put a graph on the website to show their progress in paying down debt. If they started to slip, the graph would be an embarrassing reminder.

They hoped the blog m i g h t a l so e n co u ra ge other people trying to dig out of debt.

There are dozens of similar blogs on the Internet

said. They read books on personal finance to learn how to save and invest.

It took 14 months, but the credit card debt was gone by early this year.

Their credit score improved. That helped wh e n t h ey s o l d t h e i r home this year and moved up to one big enough for their expanded family.

A u s t e r i t y i s o v e r.

They’re planning a vacation again.

The experience turned t h e m i n to c o m m i t te d cheapskates. They still s h o p a t t h re e g ro ce ry stores to catch the lowest prices.

Jeff stopped buying coffee at work and asked his boss if he could work from home another day to save on gas.

It was a shock to their sense of who they were. “ G row i n g u p m i d d l e class, there are things you take for granted, like getting your hair done or getting the kids new clothes for school,” Jeff said.

promises too much, like retirement at age 40, is probably not helpful.

Austerity is not pleasant. “The first thing we did was tear apart the budget at the fine-grain level,” Jeff said.

They kept cable TV, but his “baseball addiction” suffered as they cut it to a basic tier. Michelle decided to cut the family’s hair, including her own. They brought the kids in on the program, warning that there would be no vacation that year.

They turned down evenings out with friends if they would cost money.
