A sweet and savory dish.
Ingredients for Glaze:
1/4 cup low-sugar apricot preserves
1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
Ingredients for Kebabs:
2 cups butternut squash cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups apples cut into 1-inch chunks
12 oz. (about 4 links) fully cooked chicken sausage with 8g fat or less per 3-oz. serving, sliced into 1-inch coins
Directions: If using six wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
To make the glaze, in a small bowl, combine preserves with soy sauce. Stir until uniform.
Place squash and apples in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp. water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave for 2 more minutes, or until squash has slightly softened. Alternately thread squash, apples, and sausage coins onto six skewers, tightly packing pieces together. Spray a grill with nonstick spray and bring to medium-low heat. Brush all sides of the kebabs with the glaze.
Grill for 6 minutes with the grill cover down. Flip kebabs. With the grill cover down, grill for 6 - 8 minutes, or until squash has softened.
