It’s grilling season and we’ve created a recipe for Teriyaki Turkey Kabobs that are truly divine. Bursting with flavour and paired with fresh pineapple and red onion the combination is perfect. Plus, the use of turkey is not only yummy it’s healthy too. Inspired by the host of delicious recipes on the Canadian Turkey site I wanted to prepare something easy, family friendly and great to feed a crowd. I chose turkey breast for this recipe but with so many cuts to choose from you could use any cut – leg, thigh, breast etc. Or, make your own turkey burgers with ground turkey. Yum!

While you think of turkey for Thanksgiving it’s time to shift your thoughts to turkey sausages, turkey burgers, and more. Swap our another protein for turkey for a leaner meal your family will love.
