Well, we thought we had a boneless Butterball turkey breast; turned out to be 3 large pieces of breast meat wrapped up in netting. Oh well, removed all skin and cut up into 1 1/2- 2" pieces instead. Mixed well with the paste, and let sit a day and a half. We did smoke them with the mesquite. Grilled total of 8 minutes over hot grill. Wow! super taste and smell. The turkey was so tender with beautiful grill marks. I did lightly oil the skewers rather than the grill. So glad the turkey wasn't what we thought...will do skewers again next time!
