Grilled Turkey Meatball Kebabs

One of my favorite summertime activities is grilling with family and friends on a warm summer day. Everyone socializing, enjoying cold beverages on the deck, while amazing food cooks on the grill. I can smell it already!

When it comes to easy summer entertaining, kebabs or skewers are definitely one of my favorite ways to go. Food on a stick is always fun, simple and versatile, and turkey is a wonderful and healthy protein that’s great for grilling. Shady Brook Farms offers many products that are perfect for the grill such as ground turkey, turkey chops, tenderloins, sausage and more.

I made these delicious turkey meatball kebabs with a mixture of turkey sausage, ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg and spices. I placed varying colors of bell peppers between the turkey meatballs on the kebabs to add both color and flavor. They were very easy to make and everyone loved them!
