Marinated Turkey Kabobs with Smoked Paprika, Cumin and Turmeric

I mentioned that I recently discovered turkey tenderloin at the supermarket and knew it would be something different for grilled kabobs. To further test that theory I fired up Bella and these Marinated Turkey Kabobs with Smoked Paprika, Cumin and Turmeric did not disappoint! After seeing several recipes calling for smoked paprika I finally picked up a jar and I'm glad I did, it brings a nice smoked flavor without adding any heat. My biggest issue was trying to decide what I liked better with each bite of turkey, the onion, pepper or pineapple... Not a bad problem to have:@)
Any leftover turkey is really good on a salad. I do highly recommend planning to make extra for another meal.
You don't have to make kababs, this would be a great marinade on thinly cut turkey, chicken or pork chops.
I think you'll like this recipe if you give it a try folks!
