Nutritional values
These delicious skewers are usually dipped in a heavy peanut sauce. However, in this healthier version, you mix onions into the peanut butter and use vegetable broth instead of coconut milk, reducing the calories while retaining tons of flavor!
Pair the skewers with a salad of finely chopped cucumbers and red onions, dressed in a light marinade of lemon juice, fish sauce and red chili peppers.

Preparation steps
Rinse turkey cutlets, pat dry and cut each lengthwise into 5 strips.
Thread each strip on a wooden skewer, folding turkey back and forth as you go. Place the skewers in a large shallow baking dish.
Cut lime in half and squeeze. Put 2 tablespoons juice in a bowl. Peel the garlic and squeeze through a garlic press into lime juice.
Add soy sauce and sesame oil to bowl. Brush on turkey skewers to coat and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the onions and combine with broth in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat until the onions are falling-apart tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir peanut butter and sugar into the onion mixture. Season with salt, pepper flakes and 1-2 tablespoons lime juice. Thin with a little vegetable broth, if needed, and let cool.
Remove turkey skewers from marinade and let drain slightly. Grill for 8-10 minutes on a grill pan or a hot outdoor grill, turning regularly and brushing with a little more marinade. Serve with the peanut sauce.
