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.
