To cook turkey brochettes, you can grill them over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil over medium-high heat for a similar amount of time. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). They can also be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. Serve them hot off the grill or pan.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger cuts of turkey, brochettes are already portioned and skewered, saving preparation time. The smaller pieces cook faster and more evenly than a whole turkey breast. They are also more convenient for serving as individual portions.
