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
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- 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.
- Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated turkey cubes with chunks of bell peppers, zucchini slices, and red onion pieces.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or broiler and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the low-sugar Turkey and Vegetable Skewers hot, and enjoy them as a satisfying and healthy meal.
