Ingredients

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) grated lemon rind
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and fresh ground pepper
  • 1 pkg (450 g) lean ground Ontario turkey

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each cayenne pepper and salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together lemon rind and juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper. Add turkey and mix together with your hands until evenly distributed.
  • Divide mixture into 8 balls and shape into an oval onto soaked wooden skewers.
  • Remove outer leaves of cauliflower and break into large florets. Cut peppers into quarters and toss both into a large bowl. Add oil, cayenne and salt and toss to coat.
  • Place cauliflower, peppers and turkey kebobs onto greased grill over medium heat for about 12 minutes, turning a couple of times until vegetables are tender crisp and turkey is no longer pink inside.
  • Serve kebobs with vegetables.

Chef's Tips

  • To make these kebobs as appetizers simply divide the mixture into 16 and shape onto skewers.
  • For a different serving option you can use a slightly larger skewer and divide mixture into 16 and shape two on each skewer.
  • Need a quick serving idea, wrap the kebob in a hot dog bun or wrap and serve with your favourite toppings.
