Chicken Yumstick Kebobs
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. hot sauce, plus extra to eat with the chicken
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. salt
8 chicken breast halves
Lemon wedges (optional)
1. Combine a few tablespoons of the yogurt with the brown sugar in a
medium-sized bowl and mix until well blended. Add the remaining yogurt, hot sauce,
cumin, garlic and salt.
2. Cut each chicken breast half into 6 to 8 equal pieces.
3. Add to the yogurt mixture and stir until well combined. Thread the
chicken onto eight skewers. Place in a doubled gallon-size ziptop bag (to guard
against leaks). Chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Pack in a cooler to bring to
the park.
4. Grill the kebobs over medium heat, rotating sides every few minutes,
until cooked through, about 10 to 14 minutes total.
5. If desired, serve with extra hot sauce and lemon wedges. Serves 6 to 8.
Cooking Tip
While you have the grill going, cook up some veggie kebobs to serve
alongside the chicken. Simply thread cherry tomatoes, zucchini, onion and other
vegetables on skewers, brush with olive oil, and cook until slightly tender.

As the birthplace of barbecue, the Carolinas embrace many rich and flavorful traditions. Many area churches host Sunday afternoon get-togethers. Seeking healthier options to serve these generally large crowds, many have turned to turkey. North Carolina Barbecue Turkey - New England Turkey Gravy:
1 (10 to12-pound) whole, fresh or thawed As needed cooking oil 1 1/2 pounds turkey bacon To taste salt To taste pepper 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, crushed 1 pint apple cider vinegar 1/2 pint cold water - Cut turkey in half.
- Rub with oil.
- Wrap with bacon (If turkey is more than 12 pounds, use bacon substitute, as real bacon will burn).
- Prepare grill for medium indirect heat cooking. For gas grills, place a drip pan under one half of the rack then spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray, turn on the heat on the other half of the grill. For charcoal grills, place the coals around the outside edges of the grill, place a drip pan in the center, spray the rack and light the charcoal.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill turkey 2½-3 hours or until meat thermometer inserted into deepest portion of thigh reaches 180 degrees F and leg bone will turn and separate from meat. Turkey should be golden brown.
- Allow turkey to cool. Remove turkey from bones and chop.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and mix well.
- Mix vinegar and water and sprinkle over meat. Stir gently into chopped turkey. Add water if vinegar mixture is too strong.
