Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Turkey breast, cooked and cut into cubes Roasted or leftover turkey provides richer flavor.
- 8 oz Cheese (cheddar or mozzarella), cut into cubes Use block cheese for best texture.
- 2 medium Bell peppers, cut into squares Mixed colors add visual appeal.
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Choose firm, glossy tomatoes for best results.
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced Adds crunch to the kabobs.
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For brushing on skewers.
- to taste Salt and pepper Season to taste for balance.
- 8 Skewers Bamboo or metal, flat skewers help prevent rolling.
Instructions
Assembly
- Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of turkey, cheese, and vegetables: thread a piece of turkey, then a cheese cube, followed by a bell pepper piece, and a cherry tomato.
- Ensure at least three different items are visible on each skewer for a balanced appearance.
Brushing and Seasoning
- Lightly brush the assembled skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If transporting, place them in a single layer on a platter lined with parchment.
Serving
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready for the picnic.
- If serving right away, offer small bowls of extra olive oil or a simple dip.
Notes
Keep cooked turkey chilled before serving, and if using hot-roasted turkey, cool completely before assembly. Store assembled skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
