- •Garlic(10g)
- •Coconut Milk, Light, Canned(240g)
- •Turmeric, Ground(5g)
- •Peanut butter powder(45g)
- •Peanut Butter, Smooth(15g)

Instructions
- 1Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. While soaking, mince the garlic and combine with the peanut butter, peanut butter powder, light coconut milk, turmeric, and brown sugar in a bowl, whisking until smooth—this is your marinade.
- 2Cut the ground turkey into bite-sized pieces and thread onto skewers, dividing evenly (approximately 6 pieces per skewer). Submerge skewers in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
- 3Remove skewers from marinade and reserve the marinade in a separate container. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute until hot.
- 4Working in two batches to avoid crowding, cook the skewers for 4–5 minutes per side over medium-high heat until the turkey is golden brown on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 165°F—do not overcrowd the pan.
- 5Transfer the reserved marinade to a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes fragrant. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if the sauce becomes too thick.
- 6Divide the cooked skewers evenly among 4 plates or airtight containers while hot. Pour the satay sauce over each portion, dividing evenly.
- 7Top each serving with fresh cilantro and serve with steamed rice or vegetables on the side, or store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
