Ingredients

• 1 pound turkey breast, cut into cubes
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
3. Place the turkey cubes in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Toss the turkey to ensure it’s evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated turkey cubes with chunks of bell peppers, zucchini slices, and red onion pieces.
6. Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler, cooking for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or broiler and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the low-sugar Turkey and Vegetable Skewers hot, and enjoy them as a satisfying and healthy meal.
