Testing my new toy > Bacon Turkey Spiedini

Thanks to Lakeshore Living (Niagara Eggfest sponsor), I got a new toy - Italian made high quality spiedini maker!
Deboned a 11.5 lb turkey, salted lightly and filled the cube with interspersed layers of bacon, with half a breast leftover.
It was challenging to skewer and release because I failed to plan and only had heavy duty skewers on hand, duh!
Had to shorten the oversized skewers with a pair of cutter pliers
Freezing most of the 10x10 mini kebabs!
It was late to fire up an egg for first sample cook ... just added garlic powder and thyme, then quick sear on CI pan, yum! Should be a fun cook for parties and eggfests!
Glad I didn't buy a cheapo version online. This thing is made with heavy gauge SS cage + thick ceramic top and bottom.

Intriguing. You mind sharing the name brand of this high quality version???

Whoa! You're going to crush the next eggfest up there, Gary. That gizmo can crank out a bunch of kabobs!
so how does it work?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I'm guessing once you get all the skewers in you take a long sharp knife and run it through the slots in the sides

Very cool gadget

Cool! I've never seen one of those before. Neat way to simplify the task of making a gazillion kabobs at a go.

Exact same unit as this. Of course, there are cheaper below $50 units out there.

I'm thinking tikka/tandoori kebabs or Steven's Indonesian satay! However, must come up with dry spice recipe, marinade is probably a no-go because the pieces may have trouble staying together, unless 'meat glue' is used?caliking said:Whoa!

correct, sorry I should have explained.Bshults1 said:I'm guessing once you get all the skewers in you take a long sharp knife and run it through the slots in the sidescanuckland -
Google on 'spiedini maker' in Amazon, Froogle... 100 may sound a lot but they are tiny, each side is only 5.5" inside the cage, divide by 10 and you get kebabs about 1/2" x 1/2", skip a knife slot for 1/2" x 1" double-stick 'slabs', you get the picture. I used less than a small turkey to fill the cube; you can freeze the extras.HeavyG said:Cool! I've never seen one of those before. Neat way to simplify the task of making a gazillion kabobs at a go.

When I do satay I don't cube the meat I cut thin strips/marinate/snake onto the skewer but for less than $10 it's worth giving a try.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
That is very cool, Gary.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

@HeavyG that looks good, mostly good reviews too and the price is right. I indulged with a gift certificate
100 is more work but I wouldn't have to do it again for a while ...

Canugghead, how did the bacon turn out? It seems that pressed in between the turkey it wouldn't crisp up? Just curious as I'm seriously considering purchasing one after seeing yours. Thanks for any input.
-
@Moleman you're right about bacon not fully crisp, also with just 4 or 5 thin separated squares per skewer its taste is not dominant. Purpose of bacon was my attempt to keep the turkey moist or less bland than just turkey. For more porkiness you can wrap it in bacon or make pork belly skewers

I want one. Trust me. Just trying to decide if I will use it often enough to justify it. Certainly looks interesting. Thanks for responding.

More fun with the toy, made Simon and Garfunkel turkey skewers for canuck Thanksgiving. Skipped alternate slots on one side to double up, much easier to cook. Cooked on centre cut lump and served with siraccha ketchup.
The process went significantly smoother because a day earlier I made sure all skewers had a loose fit, had to shave down 18 sticks out of the 100 pack.
