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.
