Caesar Turkey Brochettes

I have never BBQ’d celery before and it was a fun choice for this dinner.  Turkey, chicken or lean pork work for this dinner.

2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp vodka
1 tbsp sesame oil
3/4 tsp celery salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 boneless turkey breast, skinned, or 4 turkey thighs, skinned and boned, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 ribs celery or banana peppers, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
1 red onion, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks

BASTING SAUCE:
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

• Mix together lime juice, vodka, sesame oil, celery salt and pepper; toss with turkey until coated.  Marinate for 30 minutes or covered and refrigerated, up to 8 hours.
• Alternately thread turkey, celery and red onion onto skewers.
• BASTING SAUCE: Mix together ketchup, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce.
• Grill skewers, covered, on greased grill over medium heat, turning often and brushing with basting sauce during last 5 minutes until glad and turkey is no longer pink inside, about 18 minutes.

Makes 6 to 8 main course servings

Buffalo Chicken Wings

Who doesn't love chicken wings!  I am personally not a fan of Blue Cheese in the dip however, so I substituted it with Feta.

1 egg
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Cayenne pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp celery salt
2 pounds chicken wings

BLUE CHEESE DUNKING SAUCE
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 green onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, pushed through a press
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. MARINADE: Heat oven to 450F.  Beat egg in a medium bowl.  Add oil and beat until combined.  Add vinegar, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and celery salt; stir until well combined.
2. Cut chicken wings in half at joint; remove wing tips and discard.  Dip chicken pieces into marinade and arrange on a large baking pan.
3. Bake 20 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade several times, until wings are crisp.  Remove from oven; drain and arrange on a warm platter.  Serve with Blue Cheese Dunking Sauce.
4. FOR DUNKING SAUCE: Combine all ingredients.  Mix well.
