Description

These Ranch-Style Turkey Kabobs offer a delicious twist on traditional skewers, combining tender turkey breast with crisp zucchini and sweet bell peppers. The creamy ranch dressing adds a tangy, herbaceous flavor that complements the lean protein perfectly. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a light summer barbecue, these kabobs are easy to prepare and cook quickly under the broiler. They provide a satisfying, low-fat meal option that is both hearty and refreshing, making them a versatile choice for lunch, dinner, or even as a substantial appetizer for gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. Cut the turkey tenderloins into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
  3. Slice the zucchini into 1-inch thick rounds and cut the red bell pepper into 1 1/2 inch pieces.
  4. Spray the broiler pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Thread the turkey cubes, zucchini slices, and bell pepper pieces onto four 12-inch metal skewers, alternating ingredients.
  6. Brush each kabob evenly with the ranch salad dressing.
  7. Place the prepared kabobs on the sprayed broiler pan.
  8. Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning the skewers once halfway through, until the turkey is golden brown and no longer pink in the center.
  9. Remove from the broiler and let rest for a minute before serving.

Note

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.

For added flavor, you can marinate the turkey cubes in the ranch dressing for 15-30 minutes before skewering.

Feel free to substitute other vegetables like onions, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for variety.

Ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165&# 194;°F (74ðC) for safe consumption.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
