    Kabobs are so easy and flavorful, I don’t know why I don’t make them more often. These may need to go on the menu next week.

    Perfect summer recipe!!! I do not cook enough with turkey – opting to always use chicken instead and I need to start using turkey!

    I absolutely LOVE the kabob strategy for grilling. I admit, though, that I’ve never tried it with turkey for fear of the meat drying out. With this yummy marinating step, I think you’ve solved that issue! Beautifully done!
