Grilled Turkey Kabobs

​I usually don't think about grilling kabobs in February but the weather has been so beautiful that I've been inspired to light up my Big Green Egg lately.  I had planned to make chicken kebobs on the Egg this week but when I got to the grocery store, I changed my plans.  The turkey tenderloins looked really good at Whole Foods so I decided to use turkey instead of chicken on my kabobs.

Even though I think it looks really pretty to alternate vegetables and meats on a single skewer, it's really not very practical.  The vegetables usually cook much quicker than the meat and I end up with over done veggies.  I separated my vegetables onto their own skewers so that I can cook each vegetable to perfection.

​I skewered some baby bella mushrooms... 

​and some slices of zucchini...

​and some sweet red bell peppers...

​and some red onion wedges.

​Together, I had quite a colorful collection of vegetables for grilling.

​I cut the turkey tenderloins up into bite size pieces.

​​I stirred together a simple ginger marinade. 

Ginger Marinated Chicken
½ cup soy sauce                     1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup ketchup                        1 teaspoon ginger
¼ cup brown sugar                1 teaspoon mustard
1 Tablespoon oil                     6 chicken breasts
1 Tablespoon molasses

​

​I poured the marinade over the turkey and put it in the refrigerate for about 2 hours.  

---

​I grilled my vegetables first.

​I grilled my turkey kabobs second.

​I grilled twice as much turkey as I thought we would need for dinner because I wanted to use some another meal.   The kabobs were such a big hit that we ended up eating all of them for dinner.  It's back to the grocery store for me.  I'm really glad that everyone liked the dinner.

Ciao!
