Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Turkey breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the turkey breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the turkey cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated turkey cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Grill the turkey skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the turkey is cooked through and has a light char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the cooked turkey tidbits with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or pair with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
