Serves 4

hese kebabs are a quick and healthy weeknight dinner idea. The cayenne pepper gives them a little kick so if you like your food on the plainer side, leave it out of the chicken seasoning but not the sauce. If using wood skewers, soak them in water for a few minutes to prevent splintering. Serve with a green salad and my Quinoa and Corn Pilaf from the service deli.

Ingredients:

• 4 metal or wood skewers
  
• 1 pound Gelson's Finest boneless skinless turkey breast filets, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces, 16 pieces total
  
• 1/4 large red onion, layers separated, about 8 pieces total
  
• 4 cherry tomatoes
  
• 1 large white mushroom, cut into 4 slices
  
• 2 tablespoons Napa Valley organic olive oil, divided
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  
• 1/2 bunch Italian (flat leaf) parsley, tough stems removed
  
• 1/2 small bunch mint, stems removed
  
• 1 large clove Melissa's organic garlic, quartered
  
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest, preferably from an organic lemon
  
• 1/4 cup Health Valley fat-free chicken broth
  
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  

Instructions:


1. Preheat the broiler if necessary. Prepare kebabs by threading turkey, onion, turkey, mushroom, turkey, tomato, turkey, and onion onto skewers. Place kebabs on a broiler pan. Measure 2 teaspoons of olive oil into a small dish or ramekin. Use a brush to sparingly coat all sides of the kebabs with the oil.
   

2. In a small dish or ramekin, combine oregano, cumin, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mix well and use your fingers to drizzle spices onto all sides of the kebabs. Broil for 14 minutes, turning once after 7 minutes.
   

3. While kebabs are cooking, make the lemon-mint sauce in a food processor. Place parsley, mint, and garlic in the work bowl and pulse a few times until items are finely chopped. Add in the lemon zest, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. In a measuring cup, combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, and remaining 4 teaspoons of olive oil. Run the food processor and slowly pour all of the liquid in. Promptly turn off the machine.
   

4. When kebabs are cooked, arrange them on a serving platter and pour the lemon mint sauce over them.
