Teriyaki Turkey Kebabs Time: 30 minutes
10 - 12 oz (300gr) turkey tenderloin or cutlets I bought a large breast piece, divided it in two and froze half
8 medium - large cherry tomatoes
8 medium - large mushrooms
1 medium zucchini (courgette), about 8" (20cm)
1/2 orange or red pepper
1/2 green pepper
3 - 4 tbs teriyaki sauce/marinade
4 - 6 skewers, if wooden soak in water while you get the rest of the dinner organized
Cut turkey into strips 1" wide by 1/4" thick by 2 - 3 " long (2.5x.7x7.5cm). Put turkey into a bowl and add 2 tbs teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat. Cut pepper halves into 4 squares. Clean mushrooms. Slice zucchini into 1/2" (1.25cm) slices. Thread turkey onto skewers by pushing the skewer into both short ends and leaving a gap of 1/2" (1.5cm) between ends so heat can circulate. Turkey will be a sideways "U" shaped. Alternate turkey with tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and pepper, arranging artfully. Baste all with teriyaki sauce and grill over direct heat for 10 - 15 minutes until turkey is done and vegetables are starting to brown. Turn to cook evenly and baste once more during cooking. Could also be done under the broiler (grill) for about the same amount of time.
