Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green zucchini
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Add the egg and breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well integrated.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into small, evenly sized meatballs, roughly 1 inch in diameter.

Step 5

Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the meatballs.

Step 6

Thread the meatballs, bell pepper pieces, zucchini pieces, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between them for variety and balance.

Step 7

Brush each skewer lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a slight crust to the grill.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10 minutes on one side. Turn them over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot as a delightful and healthy meal.
