Scale
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 4 teaspoons prepared brown mustard
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons sherry (optional)
  • 20 oz (570g) skinless turkey breast in 1-inch cubes

  6. Prepare the barbeque for a medium-heat.
  7. Thread the turkey, red onions, bell pepper, and zucchini or mushrooms on to 8 skewers.

Notes

  • Chicken is often the poultry of choice when the weather is good and a cookout is on the cards, but don´t forget its cousin turkey, because that is also a tasty meat which is not only for Thanksgiving.
  • This recipe sees the turkey marinated in a tangy mustard, garlic, lemon, and teriyaki mixture, and then threaded on to skewers to make kabobs which take mere minutes to cook through on the grill.
  • See how colorful these look while they are still raw – you can imagine how much more amazing they would look if they were cooked, charred in places, and boasting that wonderful smoky BBQ aroma we all know and love.
