Method

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a jug, whisking well to combine.
Place the turkey into a large bowl and pour over the marinade. Leave to marinade for 30 min or overnight.
To prepare the kebabs, thread the turkey on to skewers, reserving the marinade. Alternate with courgette, cherry tomatoes, peppers and onion until all the ingredients are used up (about 12 kebabs).
Season with salt and pepper and then place in the fridge while you light the barbecue.
Once you are ready to cook, place the kebabs on the barbecue for 8-10 mins, basting with the reserved marinade, until cooked through.
