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!

Marinated Turkey Kabobs with Smoked Paprika, Cumin and Turmeric-from a hint of honey
2 lbs turkey tenderloin cut into 1" pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 C red wine vinegar
1/2 C olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Any veggie or fruit add-ons that sound good, onion, peppers, pineapple, zucchini, etc.
A little olive oil and S&P to mix with any vegetable you're using
~Mix everything (except turkey and veggies/fruit) well, add turkey and marinate in fridge for 2-4 hours.
~Heat grill to medium/high, thread skewers and cook until juices run clear.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)

  1. Smoked paprika is wonderful isn't it. I always have some on hand, but forget to use it when I get busy, so thanks for reminding me. I can see why it would be hard to chose between the pineapple, onion and pepper with the turkey bite.

  2. That's a great combination. I'm always looking for ways to get more turmeric into our diets so I'll definitely give that marinade a try.

    Best,

  5. My doctor told me to incorporate more turmeric into my diet as it helps keep our brains sharp, so this is a great way to do that,Lynn! I like drilling kabobs and usually use chicken breast but turkey is even more flavorful!

  16. These kabobs must have such wonderful flavor with all of those spices. When I type that word I hear Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility saying that word to Margaret :)
