Tips for Experienced Cooks

For the experienced chef, consider making your own jerk seasoning blend from scratch. It allows for a more personalized flavor profile. You could also try grilling the turkey skewers on an outdoor grill to impart a smoky flavor. Toast the cinnamon, allspice, and ginger in a dry pan before mixing them with the jerk seasoning for added depth. For the coconut rice, add a pinch of salt and a couple of kaffir lime leaves while cooking for enhanced flavor.

Step 1: Prepare the Jerk Turkey Skewers

Thread the cubed turkey onto skewers. In a small bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey skewers.

  • 2 pounds turkey breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
