Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz turkey (thinly sliced or leftover roasted turkey) Use moist turkey, slice thickly for better texture.
  • 8 oz creamy cheese (cheddar, Havarti, or Monterey Jack) Choose semi-firm cheese that holds up on skewers.
  • 1 cup fresh veggies (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber) Select firm and ripe produce for best texture.
  • 4 pieces skewers Use bamboo or metal skewers; soak wooden ones prior to grilling.
Seasoning and Optional Dips
  • to taste salt and pepper Season just before serving for best flavor.
  • 1 cup dressing or dip (honey mustard, ranch, vinaigrette) Provide on side for guests.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep the turkey and cheese by cutting them into uniform bite-sized cubes. Aim for cubes roughly 3/4 to 1 inch.
  2. Chop the fresh veggies into similar-sized pieces: slice bell peppers into squares, halve large cherry tomatoes, and cut cucumber into rounds that match turkey and cheese cubes.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the skewers by layering turkey, cheese, and veggies alternately. Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving a small gap at the bottom for a handle.
Serving
  1. Season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving and drizzle with vinaigrette if desired.
  2. Serve on a platter with accompanying dips.

Notes

Store assembled kabobs in an airtight container lined with paper towels for up to 48 hours. Assemble components separately for best freshness.
